Health and Safety Induction
When a new volunteer is approved to join your branch you must undertake a basic health and safety induction. It is also important that current leaders are kept informed of any changes/updates to current guidance and practice. The topics to be covered in the basic induction are as follows:
- A leaders role in planning for safety
- Your branch’s Health and Safety Folder
- Session planning and risk benefit assessments
- Member and volunteer records, including introducing Individual Support Plans.
- Emergency and First Aid Procedures
- Lost Child procedures and Arrival, Collection and Late Collection procedure
You may wish to break this induction into sections, to be undertaken at different times. For example, introducing session planning and risk benefit assessments at the time that the new volunteer starts planning sessions.
Full details about how to use the website and resources below are in the Health and Safety Induction Overview and Instructions document (below).

We have created a training video, which covers the induction and optional training elements created as part of the new YAC Health and Safety Toolkit.
