Arghhh...risk assesments

[MissyMay]

I know what I need to check, but I don't know an easy way to record it...does anyone have any suggestions?

Just off to cook dinner so will pop back on later, sorry if I don't reply straight away! x

Hi, I have been a nanny, teaching assistant etc and will soon be a childminder, make a list of all the things you want to check and use a tick box system on a "chart". That way it is easy at a glance to see who meets what. You could even just give each requirement a letter that only you know what it means for later reference.

I have 2 columns for each room/area. One is 'potential risk', other is 'action', e.g:
Living room
fire - fire guard

Garden
Sandpit - Keep a cover on it and replace sand when needed
cat mess - check every morning before children arrive, see tick sheet (chart of dates and ticked when checked)

Thanks bothx

Look at the bromley chilminding associate site, they have lots of resources on here.
