RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS 1. The Context: 2. Identify Risks – Brainstorm ideas and group under appropriate risk headings. Consider the effects on people (staff, students and other people), information, physical assets and finances, reputation. Write the final list onto the table (risk assessment summary). 3. Analyse Risks – Determine consequences and likelihood of each risk. Write these items onto the table next to each risk.

drinking and shade facilities are all in close proximity

to each other, so with 125+ staff, it will be easy to

identify if a child is going to an unsupervised area
