Risk Information: Events risk assessment review

Hello all,

There is no change to the national threat level or any information on local concerns or threats. We are asked to continue to be alert, not alarmed.

It is the term of fairs, etc, run by yourselves, by the PTA/FOS, or in partnership. Can we suggest, however, you review the risk assessment for the event? Proportional points to consider would include:

* reviewing the event alongside your own community and individuals prevent risk assessment

* maybe the potential of a PCSO attending from your Beat team

* vehicle movements before, during and after and gate security to stop unauthorised movement. Car park potential conflict with pedestrians

* asking in advance that folded bags are brought by the 'customers', considering whether other bags might perhaps be checked at your boundary entry point

* keeping that eye out on the run up and during the event outside for anyone paying undue attention to your site and perhaps acting suspiciously

* deploying at least one person, if not more, with the specific brief to 'look out and around' not be involved in the event and clear about intervention action if necessary. At the simplest level this is usually early intervention in misbehaviour!

If you have any questions or concerns do get in touch and we'll do our best to help. The likelihood of an incident occurring is extremely low so have a great time.

DS Risk Warning: Health - Coronavirus/Covid 19

Hello all, You may well have already heard or seen that as a result of the Government's meeting today on this issue they have moved to a different level of response to the virus and its progress namely DELAY. After reading the following and reflecting on it you may come to the conclusion a communication to all staff and another to parent/carers would be timely, as soon as possible, to try to stave off issues on site tomorrow morning. With immediate effect the advice is that anyone with a new persistent cough or high temperature should self-isolate for seven days. From Friday, school trips abroad will be banned. This should trigger the ability to claim from your insurers but there's no compensation for the disappointment and lost opportunity, of course. Older people and those with pre-existing health conditions are being told not to go on cruises. PM Boris Johnson said it was "the worst public health crisis for a generation". He said there was no...
