Risk assessment

Before using the building, hirers must carry out a risk assessment - to alert organizers and users to potential risks and how to control them. Hirers are responsible for carrying these out, but for guidance we have offered two documents below. The first is a simple 'risk assessment starter'. The second offers more detailed guidance.

Food hygiene

Hirers planning to use the kitchen to prepare or heat food on the premises, other than making tea or coffee, you must show us a Food Hygiene Certificate and also read and follow our Food Safety Management System, which you can download below. Otherwise, all food served must prepared off the premises.
