NEW #BFLEARNINGWEEK 2025 EVENT: COMPLETING RISK ASSESSMENTS

Abigail Dicks and Georgina Usher will be hosting ‘Completing Risk Assessments’ on Monday 18th August 2025 at 2pm-3pm.

Date: Monday 18th August 2025, 2pm-3pm

Hosts: Abigail Dicks (BF Events & Membership Manager), Georgina Usher (BF CEO)

About the session

In order to have valid insurance, coaches, club administrators and competition organisers need to have risk assessments in place. This session will cover the basics of creating a risk assessment – how to identify, record and control risks, with the help of a simple template. We will also update you on the risks that we would expect to see recorded and discuss the options to control and minimise these risks.

Learning Objectives:

  • How to identify, describe, measure and control risk.
  • How to document a simple risk assessment.
  • Understand the main risks in fencing environments and options to control and minimise them.

About BF Learning Week

BF Learning Week is an annual opportunity for our members and wider community to join online developmental and informative sessions in subjects from coaching to community development. Due to the work being made in the para and seated fencing spaces, such as the SwordSeat™, the aim for 2025 is to focus on accessibility and disability inclusion.

The week will take place between the 18th and 22nd August 2025.
