Information for University and College Groups
If you are thinking about organising a trip with your College or University then why not volunteer abraod with Original Volunteers. It is a cheap and easy option, whether your looking to volunteer as part of your course or if you simply want to make a difference in underprivileged communities. The case studies below are just a selection of the groups who travelled with us this year alone.
Risk Assessment For Colleges And Universities
What is a risk assessment?
A risk assessment is a systematic assessment of the volunteer activities and environment surrounding the volunteer during their volunteer placement. It considers what can go wrong and the controls required to eliminate, reduce or control risks. The aim is to reduce the risks where reasonably practical. Universities and other organisations sending their members abroad often require a copy of a risk assessment or their own form to be completed confirming details and the local in-country coordinator’s details. Up to date risk assessments are currently available for Ghana, Morocco and Peru. We are also happy to complete any form required by the University or organisation’s placement support team.
