Risk Assessment Procedures:
ELITE DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY ensure that suitable and sufficient control measures are in place to reduce identified risks in the delivery of all courses/programmes. All personnel required to conduct risk assessments will be given the appropriate training and/ or will be made aware of what is expected of them in advance. All recorded risk assessments are made available to all relevant staff who must ensure that all control and/or recovery measures plans are complied with and related actions recorded.
