Guest Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Hi we are a small committee run preschool with 25 children on our books aged between 2 and school age.We are about to start the task of getting our risk assesments up to date.I would be very grateful for any information or paperwork you use to make this time consuming task easier thank you.
AnonyMouse_7317 Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Hi We do risk assessments on just about everything we have a table with concern, risks that could arise, level of risk, precautions in place, any further controls needed. I do not have one on my home computer. have found one hope the download works RISK_ASSESSMENT_Outdoor_Play_area_1_.doc
Guest Andy Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Risk_Ass__Winter_Garden.docDaily_Risk_assessment.docToilet_Area_Risk_Assessment___Checklist.dochi, we are a sessional pre-school and i/we use these. We have a daily risk assessment sheet and a sheet that should be signed by either myself or deputy and also one for toilet/nappy changing areas. For local outings we use the other attached. For more further afield outings I do thorough risk assessments. I have also attached one of those that i did yesterday for a trip to theatre tomorrow. hope they help? Andy
Guest Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 If you take a look here you will find a good article about risk assessments and some proformas to use. Linda
Guest Wolfie Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) We used this form to record our daily safety checks which were part of our risk assessment procedure and Ofsted liked it! Daily_safety_audit_plan.doc Edited March 18, 2007 by Wolfie
Guest Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 For an extensive bank of all risk assessments within a school environment try this link to a previous discussion http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...ic=6966&hl= Kermits post has the link although currently not available will be soon. Attached is my Fire risk assessment from the same site Peggy fire_risk_1_.doc

Guest Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 "Kermits post has the link although currently not available will be soon." Hi Peggy, I've just checked the Notiingham link and it seems ok now -just thought I'd let you know
Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 The links are very useful - I will be seeing if I can adapt them to my childminding setting. Thank you all xxx
Guest Andy Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Hi, sorry but i forgot to upload the Checklist that we use alongside our daily risk assessment. Myself and/or my deputy sign this every morning to say that we have assessed area. Andy Daily_assessment_Staff_Checklist.doc
Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 OK, had a cup of tea and some rice cakes.... took a look again at the daily risk assessment and indeed, you are spot on, its the date! Isn't it strange how something so familiar but presented in a different way can throw you! I wonder if that's what we do to our children sometimes.....
AnonyMouse_7239 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Hi I recently did some Risk Assessment training via Early Years and the company they use are Blithfield Safety. If you go to their web site they have some excellent forms you can download easily. Hope it helps Debbie
