Checklist For Outdoor Activity

[Lorna]

Hi

 

We are currently reviewing the health and safety proceedures for science in our infant school....(checklist from county)

 

I have been asked to compile a list of the Health and safety checks you would make before taking the children out.....

 

1. in the school grounds

 

2. on a trip.

 

 

Does anyone have one of these that I could look at to save me some time.

 

Thanks Lorna

Try this link, some very useful risk assessment forms, but not one for outside visits, I think these can only be done by doing previsits.

 

We have been thinking about this recently and apart from the obvious we came up with;

 

What to do if a child is ill / allergic reaction whilst out on a trip

 

Identify a meeting point at venue - if parent needs to pick up poorly child.

 

Lost child procedure

 

Contact details of venue ( mobile phone may not have a signal) for parents in case they need to contact you.

 

FROM PAST EXPERIENCE Clear ground rules that parent helpers do not smoke ( I am a smoker and have learnt to wait, why can't parents )

 

LOTS OF SCHOOL RISK ASSESSMENTS

 

Hope these help.
