This risk assessment document summarizes the potential risks and control measures for a study visit by Priestley College students to Arley Hall. The main risks identified include transport issues, health/medical issues, risks from specific activities, damage or loss of property, financial risks, and risks related to group management. Control measures are outlined to lower the likelihood and severity of each risk, such as providing transportation details, ensuring first aid is available, having students sign a code of conduct, and collecting emergency contact information. With these precautions in place, the overall risk level for each category is deemed to be low.
