Summarise Risk Assessment Summary in parent-readable terms (trips, PE, site works) and list Parent Responsibilities (labelled kit, medical updates, reporting illnesses). Describe Reporting Safety Concerns with a named contact. Issue at induction evenings and reissue annually or whenever procedures change, keeping the wording aligned with your full H&S policy.
When to Use This Template
Rolling out a new policy
Draft the expectations and consequences, set an effective date, and send the same formatted document to staff and parents so nobody is working from an older version.
Annual policy review
Pull the last version, update the review date and any changed wording, and reissue with a visible revision trail.
Collecting staff acknowledgment
Issue the policy with a signature or acknowledgment section so every member of staff confirms they have read and understood the current version before the effective date.
