CM club - risk assessment for outdoors

[Fruitbatlings]

I need to put together my outdoors risk assessment chart. Do any of you lovely ladies have a template I could pinch?

Do we need to have a risk assessment even if we're just popping to the local shop for some milk/bread and all the mindees are strapped in buggy? It wouldn't surprise me if we do but thought I'd better ask....

many thanks

Yes you now need a risk assessment for every outing as detailed in ofsteds recent update, have a look on the bromley childminders website for lots of downloads

I should have said you can use the same risk assessment but you need to date it when you use it and update any new risks you noticed.

It's a great website, I've used it loads in the past. It doesn't have an outings risk assessment form, just an indoors one.

Hang on i'll find you one

Try this one scroll down on the right hand side www.southglos.gov.uk/NR/exeres/16797559-1d91-4110-a118-346a6545d42d
Hope that helps.

Thanks Dan, I found that one but it's an Adobe file and I can't seem to open Adobe on my pooter.
If anyone knows how I would be really grateful btw! Everything seems to be Adobe at the moment!

You need to download Adobe Reader, it is a free download from their website, just google Adobe Reader I think the latest version is 9

Thanks badger, I've done it. I had no idea which version of Mac I have but just picked any and it seems to work!
I've downloaded that one on the SouthGlos website so all sorted.
Thanks everyone!

wow www.bromleycma.org.uk is fantastic!
