Risk Assessments for the Learning schools programme are designed to support schools preparing to book a session with the Learning Team. They are not a substitute for the actual visit risk assessment which must to be actioned and implemented by the school visit co-ordinator.

All school programmes delivered by The Learning Team have risk assessments which are frequently monitored and reviewed yearly. Samples of these Risk Assessments have been placed online for reference.

A complete list of Learning Risk Assessments is available upon request. Please telephone 024 7678 5173 for further information.
