CAS Risk Assessment:
The purpose of this risk assessment is to ensure that the likelihood and possible impact of risks has been considered
in the planning of CAS experiences. Once a risk has been identified, steps can be taken to mitigate its likelihood. If
there are safety concerns, the risk assessment should be discussed with your Parents and your CAS Advisor before
starting the CAS Experience and, if necessary, plans should be changed.
Activity to be undertaken: Instructor:
N.B. the risk of each activity should be assessed individually If adult supervision is required

You must discuss with your Parents the risks of your planned CAS Experience before you start.
