Groups Policies, procedures and risk assessments for covid 19 have been kept up to date and changes made when necessary. ## Risks and uncertainties As a charity that looks after children the trustees recognise that the main risk would be injury or death to any of the children whilst in the care of the group. Controls are put in place to manage any risks. Staff are first aid trained, full risk assessments are in place and kept up to date and insurance policies are in place and kept up to date.
