Hi I wonder if anyone has a risk assessment they could share or knows of a good pro-forma that could be adapted? we are looking to revamp our risk assessments into something that does the job but is more manageable. I don't know how everyone else does it but we have a big one that covers everything; building, outside area the works, which is completed yearly and then daily check lists that to be honest are a real pain to keep up with.

We have a wonderful member of staff who has transformed our after-school room! As a project for over the summer holidays she wants the children to write their own script, make costumes, etc etc and film it!

At the time she said she was OK, a few days later she said she bruised her wrist and knee.

Can anyone help with regards to peer on peer observation or annual staff appraisals.

I have avoided them for so long but with the new EYFS making staff appraisals a must I know I have to take the leap now - such a baby I know. Appreciate any help.
