Activity Risk Assessment

Every children's activity provider in the UK is legally required to carry out risk assessments, but generic templates rarely cover the specific hazards you face in a swimming pool, dance studio, or sports hall. This template is built around the HSE's five-step risk assessment process and pre-populated with common hazards specific to children's activity environments. Each hazard includes suggested control measures so you're not starting from a blank page. The template also includes a review schedule and incident log, helping you demonstrate due diligence to insurers, Ofsted, and parents alike.
