Many services have had issues with children leaving the premises unnoticed. This newly added risk assessment will help you to document your attention to minimising the risk of this happening in your setting.

Description

Risk assessment is a crucial function of any early years setting and an important process for the prevention of injury and illness.  Risk management is a central part on the Tusla Inspection and therefore it is important to develop a system to suit your service. All the risk forms in this pack can be adjusted to ensure relevance to the type of service you operate.

Annual/Quarterly Risk Audit

At least once a year a full risk audit of your building and operations should be carried out but we recommend that this happens quarterly to ensure compliance and safety and well-being of all those involved in your service.
