working at premises other than your main one, you may need to ask the centre

8 Do you and your learners have access to drinking water?

9 Is the equipment and furniture in good condition and free from defects likely to
cause injury? (is it appropriate to the learners – for example in family learning
sessions delivered in schools do you have access to adult-sized furniture?)

10 Have you recorded all learners including late comers in case of emergency
evacuation?

11 Have you shared with your learners any potential risk for the specific activity?
(including mitigation action needed)

If you have answered No to any of these questions, please discuss with your line
manager immediately
