Keeping your group safe is the most important responsibility you have as a committee member—and this training will help you do exactly that.

You’ll learn how to plan safe activities, spot potential risks, and make sure your events run smoothly and responsibly. Whether you’re hosting a weekly meeting or planning something out of the ordinary, knowing how to manage risk is key to protecting your members and your group.

🛡️ All student groups must submit a risk assessment to reaffiliate with the Students’ Union
📋 Additional risk assessments may be needed for activities outside your regular schedule
🚨 This training will show you why health and safety matters, and how to confidently handle it

By the end of this session, you’ll feel prepared to lead your group safely—and understand how simple steps can prevent big problems.
