As the needs of every group are different, group leaders will need to complete their own risk assessments for each visit. To assist you with this, we provide guidelines which can be used to inform a full assessment.

We've put measures in place across our sites to make them as safe as possible for both visitors and staff. Keep up to date and informed about our current safety measures before your visit, by familiarising yourself with our visitor safety information.

Familiarisation visits are free for up to two school group leaders per prebooked session. Please note that as some sessions take place in locations not accessible to the public that access to the learning spaces are by arrangement only.

Please see your confirmation statement for how to arrange your pre-visit to conduct an onsite risk assessment.
