Compass Events Access for Teachers

When creating an Event in Compass requiring a risk assessment, please ensure that the teacher who is organising and attending the event has been added as the  event organiser on the staffing tab. This will then allow that staff member to be able to sign off on the event or add risks from the risk bank.

Please refer to this Compass Events Procedural Flowchart to ensure that the correct process is being followed for risk assessments in Compass Events.
