Safety message
All activities must be safely managed. Use the safety checklist to help you plan and risk assess your activity. Do a risk assessment and take appropriate steps to reduce risk. Always get approval for the activity and have suitable supervision and an InTouch process.
- Do a risk assessment and include hazards such as roads, woodland, bodies of water (for example, rivers, ponds, lakes, and seas), plants, and animals.
- You’ll probably need more adult helpers than usual. Your risk assessment should include how many adults you need. The young people to adult ratios are a minimum requirement; when you do your risk assessment, you might decide that you need more adults than the ratio specifies.
- Think about extra equipment that you may need to take with you, for example, a first aid kit, water, and waterproofs.
- Throughout the activity, watch out for changes in the weather and do regular headcounts.
- You must have permission to use the location. Always check the weather forecast and inform parents and carers of any change in venue.
- Provide some light, so the environment isn’t completely dark. Everyone must be able to see others and move around the area safely.
- Manage groups carefully when near or on roads. Consider adult supervision and additional equipment (such as lights and high visibility clothing) in your risk assessment.
- Supervise young people when they’re online and give them advice about staying safe.
- For more support around online safety or bullying, check out the NSPCC website. If you want to know more about specific social networks and games, Childnet has information and safety tips for apps. You can also report anything that’s worried you online to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection command.
- As always, if you’ve got concerns about a young person’s welfare (including their online experiences), follow the Yellow Card reporting processes.
