Here are the steps you’ll need to take to make sure your events and activities take this into consideration.
Risk Assessments are about minimising potential danger and putting measures in place to avoid foreseeable risks. You have a duty of care towards your members and those attending your events, and if an incident happens they show that you did everything you could to make an activity safe.

This needs to be attached to every Student Group Activity Booking Form. You will need to complete additional risk assessments for events this does not cover using the provided templates. For the exact details of completing a risk assessment and calculating risks please look at the Risk Assessment Guide.
