The Safeguarding Service Risk Assessment Tool
A risk assessment should be carried out as part of good safeguarding practice before activities with children, young people or adults at risk are carried out in the Church of Scotland. The SG20 Safeguarding Risk Assessment Guidance is available for download.
The steps outlined on the risk assessment tool can be used to risk assess an activity or outing.
The risk assessment should be completed by the most appropriate person. A written record is recommended. This should be signed, dated, a date added for a review to take place, and securely stored.
Please note that the table of identified risks and what safeguards need to be in place are not all-encompassing; therefore, please add any that are applicable to your activity or outing.
