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.

Compass Events Procedural Flowchart

Please refer to this Compass Events Procedural Flowchart to ensure that the correct process is being followed for risk assessments in Compass Events. If you require any assistance with the addition to your Risk Template Bank or how to do a risk assessment in the Compass Portal, please do not hesitate to contact me.
