Wakefield Snapethorpe Primary School in Wakefield has an after-school club risk assessment that provides space to answer the following questions:

  • What are the hazards?
  • Who might be harmed and how?
  • What are you already doing (to prevent the hazard)?
  • What further action is necessary?
  • Action by who?
  • Action by when?

George Spicer Primary School in Enfield has risk assessments for 2 sites that cover both after-school clubs and breakfast clubs:

They include control measures around:

  • Staff suitability and awareness of procedures
  • Site suitability
  • Security
  • Supervision
  • Missing children
