The Short Answer
No
Why it Works This Way
We build and maintain the master templates so we can keep them consistent and up-to-date with industry best practices and the international standard ISO31031
We spent 6 months building these for you, so you don't have to
Consistency for your school is key and this is also why the system works out of the box and doesn't require anyone to spend months of their time building their own templates from scratch
What to Do Instead
Once you've completed your own risk assessment to begin with you can use this as a template so any customisations specific to your program will be maintained in that document every time you use it
School administrators can customise some risks within the system for Transport, People & Environment
If there are specific things in those three categories which you need to customise you have full control over this and can find the customisation settings inside the school admin settings. These can also be marked as mandatory for each risk assessment
If You Think a Template Needs Changing
Let us know at [email protected] we're open to considering any updates so long as they align with safety best practices
If you find a spelling mistake (other than a US/UK English difference) we'll buy you a coffee!
If You Run an Activity We Haven't Covered
Firstly you can use the "Other" activity type and create everything from scratch
Otherwise contact us at [email protected] and we'll write this for you (so long as it fits into what we consider an appropriate activity)
What We Won't Write
We're pretty open to the sorts of activities schools run and we've run many higher-risk activities over the decades we were teaching. However, we also have our limits
Any activity that we consider to be inappropriate for a school group or we cannot determine an appropriate nor reasonable hazard identification and control process when it comes to a school or youth group we will not include. For example, bungie jumping and quad biking are two examples of things we will not be including
