General Advice
A Group Leader has to be aware of the Health and Safety regulations of the venue in which the group meetings are held. In practice this may amount to nothing more than making sure the group knows where the fire exits are.
- Make sure you give sufficient information for group members to make an informed choice as to whether they wish to participate in your activities and then let them decide. This is particularly important if you are running a physical activity.
- Remind members if you are doing a physically active subject that they undertake it at their own risk.
- If you are leading walks, have a look at the Walk Leader Risk Assessment information.
- Delegate where you can and spread the load.
