Risk Assessments for youth programmes

This one-day course is designed for managers and other employees within youth work organisations who are responsible for writing risk assessments or approving those of colleagues or external providers.

Delivered by NYA’s risk management partners, Pharos Response; the crisis management experts who know only too well what happens when risks aren’t managed effectively.

Designed for youth workers and/or managers who are responsible for either writing risk assessments or approving those written by colleagues or perhaps external providers you work with.

Delivered in a highly engaging manner, packed full of interactive exercises and scenario-based activities that fully complement the resources on the NYA Safeguarding and Risk Management Hub

Attendees will gain confidence in writing risk assessments, learn how to avoid common mistakes and know what to look for in the risk assessments of other organisations. The ultimate aim is of course to make programmes safer but also to better protect the organisation if something does go wrong.

Delegates will receive a certificate of attendance.
