Take one ie Kitchen and go into it and sit on the floor lol, and take a good look around and think of anything that you think a child may hurt themselves on, get into, burn themselves on etc etc and for each thing write what the concern is ( ie)

Risk:

Children getting into cupboards

And then say what you would do to overcome it - IE

Action:

Fit cupboard locks to prevent access

as for risk level, I admit I don't do that on mine as to me if something is a risk, it's a risk and needs actioning regardless of low med or high risk.
Does that help at all
