ACECQA has launched a new tool to assist early childhood services and oosh services to identify and assess potential risks. This tool and the templates in it are intended as a starting point. They are designed to be adapted to meet the needs of each individual service.
Templates include:
- Risk assessment and management template – Excursions
- Risk assessment and management template – Transporting children
- Risk assessment and management – Indoor and outdoor learning environment safety checklist
- Risk assessment and management – Learning experience plan – Educators/Teachers
The tool can assist in identifying, assessing and managing the risk of harm to anticipate the likelihood and consequence of an incident. Working to reduce the risk of harm will help ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of children, families, staff and community members within your service.
