I think this may be difficult as it would not be personal to your setting. I do not think that there is a generic one that could be used but someone may come along and prove me wrong!! (It has been a long day)

Thanks Zigzag, l just need a sample to kickstart me really, like headings high or low risk etc

Look at the plants you have, are they poisonous?

Do dogs,cats, other animals have access? You'll need to check sand pits, compost, gravel for mess.

Are paths level and suitable? Are the paths slippery when wet, loose slabs.

Is there shade, hidden area's, water features? Midges, creatures, drowning, too much sun, bushes you cant see through.

Do any other groups have access, can the public get in? Litter, beer cans.

Do you have any 'blind' spots?

1 person cant see the whole of our outside space Due to a shed which the children can hide behind, so it's in our risk asses how we manage that
