We want Girlguiding to be full of fun and adventure, but sometimes that includes an element of risk and challenge too. Leaders are expected to follow Girlguiding policy to ensure all activities are carried out safely by managing any risks.
Visit the Girlguidng website to find out about completing risk assessments and download templates to create your own risk assessments for unit meetings, events, trips, residentials and other activities. Remember that each risk assessment you create will need to be completed according to your specific activities, girl experience and people needs - because every situation is different!
