Lost Child/Risk - Tip

[karenandsmile]

all my children wear red t shirts with mobile no on the back when we go

stickers fall of get playerd with an get lost wristbands the kids fiddle with it and can be pulled off

and all my kids in each zone are shown a meet up point if they do get lost

and how many time do i head count in a day lol

though did think about dropping some at the monkey enclosure at woburn safari park what a brilliant day out for all ages i took from 1 to 15 year olds and they all had a good time no complaints atall and the older children even had a video camera and did their own documentry of the animals and comentry as they went round the enclosures

That is a really good tip, Pauline - thank you. I think I would struggle to remember what all my children were wearing! Will be adding that in to my RA

I used Pauline's top tip on a family outing on Sunday - excellent tip!

I thought I would share a tip that would help if ever the worst case scenario happened and a child was lost during an outing.

I always take the camera with me to record their activities on an outing, so before I leave I take a full length photo of each child, this means that in the event of a child being lost you have a recent photo and the ability to give a full and detailed description of what they are wearing.

It would be easy to forget what they were wearing if you needed to tell the police, especially during such a stressful situation.

If you do this, it is worth adding to your risk assessment.

Hope this helps

Yah!!!!! I do this.....maybe I will be a little closer to that outstanding now xx
