Module 4 - Health and Safety and risk assessment

Module 4 provides a detailed and practical introduction to health and safety and risk assessment within Early Years and school settings. It explains why risk assessment is a key part of daily practice and how it supports children’s safety, wellbeing, and development. The module explores how risks can arise during play, learning activities, outdoor experiences, and routine classroom tasks.

Participants will learn how to identify hazards within learning environments, assess the level of risk, and decide on appropriate control measures. The module breaks the risk assessment process into clear, manageable steps that can be applied confidently in everyday situations. It also highlights the importance of reviewing and updating risk assessments regularly, especially when routines, environments, or children’s needs change.
