| Risk Assessments and Teacher Pre-visits |
Risk AssessmentsThe generic education risk assessment is available below, however we recommend that all visiting schools and other parties complete their own risk assessments relevant to their visiting group, as this will identify any further measures required specific to the needs of the visiting group, such as supervision ratios. Please be advised that you should bring a trained first aider with you on the day of your visit and the Gardens' accident book must be completed if you have an incident on site by a group leader, located at the main reception desk. For information you can download this document: Gardens' Education Risk Assessment for Non-Birmingham Local Authority Schools Teacher Pre-VisitsWe strongly recommend that all teachers carry out a pre-visit, even if you have been to the Gardens before as things change. For free admission during the Gardens' opening hours seven days a week, simply bring along headed paper from your school, signed by your Head Teacher with the date of your visit, to show to the main reception desk. Please note that if you bring any guests or family members with you, they will be charged admission.
