Events - Planning: Risk

This article will provide you with an overview of the 'Risk' stage of an event plan

Overview:

The Risks tile provides you with the necessary information needed to mitigate identified risks included in your event. Through this tile, you can view:

• Participant Risks
• Activity Risks
• Transport Risks
• General Risks
• Location & Accommodation Risks (if an overnight event)
• and add manual risks if you believe there is information that has not been outlined correctly. 

 

Each section requires you to review and acknowledge the risk, provides you with guidelines and mitigation suggestions, and has a note section in case you'd like to add additional information.

It is crucial that this tile is completed accurately and thoroughly to ensure your students safety while participating in your event.

Note: The alert 'Read and acknowledge the 'About Risks; statement' is referring to the statement which can be found at the top right of the tile:
