5.11 Risk Assessment
Risk assessments are to be completed by the Responsible Person in Charge for all events involving under 18’s at a Jesus Youth location. The risk assessment will differ depending on the nature of the event, for example, a residential retreat, a one-day programme, or a prayer meeting. The Responsible Person in Charge must ensure that all necessary safeguards, health and safety measures and emergency procedures are in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all participants, particularly children and young people.
This should be reviewed and updated prior to each event. No event should take place without a completed risk assessment.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and all those who support events at a Jesus Youth location are responsible for adhering to the guidelines in the risk assessments, keeping the venue safe and reporting any concerns they may have.
