Your Question?
Hi having some trouble coming up with some potential hazards for Part E question 3.

Scenario
You are an unquallified educator in a children's education and care service working with the 3-5 year age group. at 9:30am you are going with your lead educator to take a group of 29 children on a 45 minute walk to look around the local neighbourhood. You will not be crossing any major roads or gooing near water.

Question - List four potential hazards you may encounter on the excursion, explain why it is a hazard and the risk reduction strategies you will implement to manage them.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I have thought of cars reversing out of driveways, strangers, staff ratios. I need a couple ideas i'm a bit stuck on getting the risk reduction strategy and not sure if my ideas are along the right track. Any ideas would help greatly. Have looked at my centre's policies and procedures but didn't really help that much.

Description and Message:

[syakira]

broken glass on foot path

dogs

large cracks in the footpath. Cracks that have been shifted up because of tree roots growing underneath.

large branches from trees blocking the footpath

You could also add syringes, dog poo (gross I know - but I have had kids try and jump in it YUK), puddles from rain, blind corners, people riding on bikes,
