Definitive new guidance from ISRM on devising and implementing child admission policies

The new “ISRM risk assessment guidance for child admission policies” provides a comprehensive toolkit of management resources which will assist pools in devising site-specific child admissions policies which are sympathetic to the needs of users whilst maintaining an appropriate safety culture.

The 32 page full colour risk assessment guidance booklet includes:

• The context within which the new guidance applies to current health and safety legislation.
• ISRM’s detailed advice on conducting risk assessments in relation to child admissions.
• 3 comprehensive “real life” case studies showing how successful child admissions policies have been implemented across the UK in different types of pools.
• An exemplar risk assessment form detailing 13 major hazards for young children in a swimming pool.
• 15 “frequently asked questions” typically posed by parents – anticipating some of the problems operators have.
• An example of water safety information that can be made available to parents to help operators.
• Information on the new ASA hotline – a first line approach for concerned parents and aid to conflict resolution for operators.
