• 5 Steps to Risk Assessments

    Time to complete: 25 minutes

  • Wherever we go and whatever we do, the primary aim of every volunteer must be to put the safety of Young People first and support them in keeping each other safe. Risk assessment starts in the early stages of activity planning and goes on throughout the activity.

    This support session goes through using the five step Risk Assessment Model as best practice to conduct activity RA's.

    These support sessions also consider that during an activity hazards may change and volunteers need to have the knowledge to re spin the Risk Assessment Model(known as a dynamic risk assessment) and change the activity if needed.
