Its there to protect our members work :)
Children can also be guided to risk assess by sustained shared thinking with open ended questions such as what would happen? what if? why? where? what can you do?
Remember very young children still need to be supervised but without being 'held back' for fear of hurting or accidents
This may help
Teaching children to assess risk | Optimus Education also look up
Also look up Tim Gill the expert in this subject...google him

hi aim new to childminding, how do i download risk assessments or do we do our own? thanks Vanessaxx
Each setting is different so your RA will be pertinent to your setting and cover the 'potential' risks in your home and when children are in your care.
All you need to do is write a format that is suitable to you and that you can update as often as necessary....a simple table will do
Did you have any help in doing RA when you trained to become a CM? that I am aware of that should be covered in the initial training package
I want to know how to fill in risk assessment forms and how to lay them out for child minding in the home and on outings,
Not sure how others do it ...I do a simple table with 4 columns: Risk, prevention, Action in an emergency and other actions
I risk assess all areas and have different sections
Car journeys
outings
walking
Stay and Play sessions
Shopping
parks and playgrounds
Medicine such as Epipens
I also RA each room and the garden
Whenever I want to update it is easy because it is a Word doc and date any amendements
Does that help?
Hi there, just joined the forum. Child led risk assessments sound really good.
Thanks
