Checklist to conrm planning for outdoor activity can start
Yes*
Has Girlguiding HQ said that face-to-face guiding is allowed in your area?
Have you checked how many people can meet, in line with local government guidelines?
Have you planned your activity to meet these guidelines?
Is there a suitable and accessible outdoor space you can use for meeting?
Consider cost, drop-off/collection and pick-up while maintaining social distance and safety while there.
Are enough leaders available (minimum 2) to run the activity, safely and within ratio? Consider whether any volunteers are unable
to attend due to Covid-19 symptoms, shielding, work or carer responsibilities.
Do leaders have up-to-date disclosure (DBS/PVG/Access NI) checks?
Take into account extensions on re-checks granted due to lockdown.
Will rst aid be available if needed?
This should be provided either by the venue/activity provider or through qualied Girlguiding volunteers.
Is the rst aid kit available and stocked with appropriate PPE? This includes additional gloves and masks.
Are all members’ details up to date on GO?
Have you planned activities that can allow for social distancing?
Have you added Covid-19 related risks to your risk assessment and submitted it to your commissioner for approval?
If you are using an external provider, have you checked that they are following appropriate social distancing and hygiene measures,
in line with government guidance? If you are not using an external provider
, please write N/A in the box.
Now that lockdown measures are easing in areas of the UK, some outdoor guiding can take place.
If you’re planning an activity with girls outdoors, you need to:
•
Complete this checklist before. *You can only meet outdoors if you can answer yes to each question.
•
Complete the risk assessment template
• Ask your local commissioner to sign off your risk assessment
• Talk with your local commissioner to agree that you can answer yes to all the questions
Checklist and risk assessment form
Using this template, you should risk assess activities, trips and events in line with Girlguiding’s risk assessment policy. Using the information
on the website and this cover page, you should be able to identify effective risk management strategies and tasks to ensure that activities run
safely and effectively.
For more information or support with risk assessments, please speak to your local commissioner.
• Hazards are anything that has the potential to cause harm (e.g. cars, trip hazards, exposed electrical wires, theft, etc.).
• Risk is the likelihood of something happening, combined with the severity of the harm that could be caused by one or more hazards
Risk management is a dynamic cycle that needs to be repeated in order to effectively manage risk. The frequency of reassessment will
depend on activity, and new risks could occur that have not previously been assessed. In this instance, a dynamic risk assessment is required.
Risk assessment: Outdoor event/activity
Including coronavirus considerations
1. Identify hazards
2. Identify all those who may be
affected by the hazards
3 Estimate the current level of risk,
and precautions in place
4. Decide if new measures are needed
5. Record your ndings.
Agree actions and timetable
Look at things that can cause injury or damage, thinking about
activity, location and surroundings.
Think about the people around, not just members, who could be
injured or affected by the activity.
See matrix below. Think about how serious the risk is to people and
property. What is already in place to prevent the injury or damage
and does this reduce the risk?
List actions required to reduce risk.
Decide if you want to go ahead.
Make sure everyone knows what they are going to do and by when.
Make sure it is done and record it.
What to do How to do it
Slight harm
(Supercial injuries, minor cuts and bruises)

Unlikely
(Rarely happens)
Low risk Low risk Medium risk

Decision: once all the actions are carried out can you eliminate or safely manage the risk of harm to ensure you

the control measures in place will keep girls safe)
Yes No

From public
e.g. Arrive early, assess location
and if there are lots of other people
in chosen open area, move to a
different part of the park.
From parents
Ensure that the information and
consent form for events/activities
has been completed and returned
prior to the event.
In all communications to
parents/carers clearly state that no
girl must attend if she or anyone in
the household is showing symptoms
of Covid-19.
e.g. write to parents, make use of
existing communication channels
such as WhatsApp group to ensure
all parents/carers are familiar with
new arrangements.

anyone who starts to display
symptoms of Covid-19 can
wait away from the group to
be collected as soon
as possible.
Check government guidance on
mask wearing and mitigating actions
for your activity and ensure these
are followed.
e.g. Identify in advance any young
members that have not been to
school since social distancing has
come in.
They may be less familiar and
therefore require you to watch them
more closely.
Avoid face to face and shouting and
singing activities.

kit to be used if social distance
cannot be maintained (e.g.

any contact.
Have ample soap and paper
towels available for hand
washing during the meeting if
practical or use hand sanitizer.
Ensure there is a plastic bag
to enable appropriate safe
disposal of paper towels if
used.
Infection of vulnerable
members
Ensure you’re aware of any
girls/volunteers who have a
medical condition making
them especially vulnerable at
this time so you can take
necessary precautions or
explore alternative ways for
them to remain involved
without attending in person.
