Safety message

  • Always complete a register at the start of the meeting to record who is present.
  • Always remember to risk assess and plan for free time, even if it's just the first five minutes of the meeting.
  • Activities start when the first person arrives and end when the last person leaves, including leaders and their children.
  • Maintain and keep medical records up to date, check for any allergies or intolerances, this way you can plan to have the right resources.
