Risk Assesment Policy

At The Man In The Moon, we prioritise the safety and security of children and crew members through rigorous risk assessment procedures.

Implementation:

All crew members are responsible for conducting risk assessments as part of their regular duties.
In compliance with current health and safety legislation, we conduct regular risk assessments and promptly address any identified hazards or risks.

Instances of Risk Assessment:

Risk assessments are conducted:
- Whenever there is a change to equipment or resources.
- Whenever there is a change to the premises.
- When specific needs of a child necessitate it.
- Before taking children on outings or visits.

Documentation:

Not all risk assessments require written documentation. We determine which assessments need formal recording. However, assessments related to employment and the working environment are always documented for crew members' reference.
Any policy or procedural changes resulting from risk assessments are updated in relevant documents and communicated to all crew members.

Daily Checks:

Prior to children's arrival, we conduct daily visual inspections of equipment and premises (indoors and outdoors).
Throughout sessions, crew members remain vigilant for potential health and safety risks.

Handling Hazards:

If a hazard is discovered during a session, the crew member ensures immediate safety measures (e.g., cordoning off the area) and notifies the premises manager.
The premises manager addresses the hazard promptly, implements necessary actions to prevent recurrence, and ensures mitigation measures are effective.

Recording Incidents:

All accidents and dangerous events are recorded promptly in the Incident Log or Accident Record sheets.
Records related to incidents involving children are stored in the child's file.
We monitor Incident Logs and Accident Records to identify any patterns and implement preventive measures accordingly.

This policy should be read alongside our Fire Safety and Risk Assessment policy.
