Department of Education and Training (DET) is committed to the health, safety and well-being of students, staff and others involved in all curriculum activities conducted at schools or other locations. Below is a list of activity-specific guidelines outlining risk level, qualifications required, and identified hazards. It is important to note that the actual risk level will vary according to the specific circumstances of the activity and these must be considered when planning curriculum activities. A Curriculum Activity Risk Assessment template
400k is available for high or extreme risk activities where a guideline for an activity does not appear in the list below.
Note: To ensure input on partially completed forms is not lost when selecting links within the form it is important to ensure the Curriculum Activity Risk Management guideline or Assessment template is saved to your desktop/drive before navigating away from the web page.
Alerts:
Schools are reminded that a Curriculum Activity Risk Assessment Register
125k is to be established and maintained for High and Extreme risk activities. A School Curriculum Activity Register can assist schools to record and manage the details of all activities and ensure appropriate authorisations have been recorded for all high and extreme risk activities.
Schools are encouraged to regularly check the website to access the latest version of the guidelines.
