AALA Risk Management

This introduces the Risk management Summary (RMS), which is designed to stand alone as a brief summary, (ideally a couple of pages), which makes a broad but strong statement about a provider's management of safety. The purpose of the summary is to enable licensed providers to meet, in the least bureaucratic way, the ever-increasing demand for written information such as examples of their risk assessments. By completing the RMS the licensed provider should be able to satisfy the client about the vast majority of information requested.

The Dept. for Education and Skill's publication 'Health and Safety of Pupils on Educational Visits' (HSPV) remains the principle text. Part 1 of the Supplements to HSPV (page 14 para 57) states "it is good practice to seek details of their safety management practices". The Licensing Authority believes that seeking details does not necessarily mean requesting copies. Obtaining assurances that they exist would, we believe, satisfy this. Moreover, we believe is unnecessary in most cases, and positively ill-advised in others, to actually request copies.

Please ask if you would like a copy of our RMS.
