Holiday Club Risk Assessment

Risk assessments are a proactive approach to ensuring the safety of your participants.They make sure that you recognise and mitigate the potential risks, and can be a requirement from your insurance provider. So how do you conduct a risk assessment for your holiday club? Here's a simplified process:

  1. Identify hazards associated with your holiday club. This could include anything from a camp-goer’s actions to faulty equipment or even bad weather.
  2. Determine who’s affected by the hazard: is it your club-goers? Is it your employee?
  3. Evaluate the level of risk. Different hazards are more likely to occur, so their level of risk will be higher. Evaluate the level of risk on a 1-5 scale for each potential hazard.
  4. Implement control measures. Wherever you can, you should implement rules and policies that will help to prevent the hazards from occurring.
  5. Monitor and review. You’ll want to review your risk assessment often so that it includes all hazards you can think of.
