Generic
Salford City Council has produced a number of Generic Risk Assessments to cover a wide range of activities that schools and youth organisations are likely to encounter on off-site visits.
However, all risk assessments must take account of local circumstances, and groups wishing to adopt any of the following should ensure that they have been thoroughly reviewed and amended according to the nature of the group/venue/planned activity and staffing. The generic risk assessments should be viewed as a 'skeleton' - a starting point on which schools and youth organisations can then build and develop their own.
Local Authority generic risk assessments are available for downloading on the subject areas listed below. In addition, a generic risk assessment proforma can be accessed from this page.
