Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports teaching assistants, SENCOs, first aiders and welfare staff in delivering safe, respectful and dignified intimate and personal care within educational settings. It ensures that care is carried out in line with legal duties, safeguarding policies and best practice.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that care plans and consents are current and followed
  • Ensuring appropriate PPE and hygiene standards are met
  • Maintaining student dignity, privacy and safeguarding requirements
  • Assessing manual handling techniques and equipment safety

It covers all key safety dimensions: planning and permits (risk assessment), competence and people (training and consent), environment and site (clean facilities and safe conditions), task procedures, plant and equipment (hoists, sliding boards), substances (cleaning agents), personal protective equipment, infection‑control controls, emergency and welfare planning, and completion of documentation. By following the checklist you verify that risk assessments are in place, staff are trained, appropriate protective equipment is used, and the student’s privacy and dignity are maintained throughout the process.

How to use: Review each question before beginning the care activity and answer Yes, No or N/A. Record any No or N/A responses and take corrective action before proceeding. Complete the post‑care documentation after the activity and store it securely.

Compliant with: Equality Act 2010, Equality Act 2010 and Equality Act 2010. Fully editable and shareable.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
