Risk assessments are an essential part of ensuring safe and effective outdoor learning experiences. On this page, you’ll find a range of example risk assessments covering various outdoor activities and environments. These are provided as guidance only to help you consider potential hazards and mitigation strategies.

However, every school and nursery must develop their own risk assessments, tailored to their specific setting, activities, and participants. These examples should be used as a starting point to support your own planning, not as ready-to-use documents.

If you need support in developing risk assessments for your setting, feel free to email us, and we’ll be happy to help.
