seekers

their lives.
Harmony
seekers
• place high value on their ethnic origin and culture, but are more open to
exploring and potentially valuing other ways of life.
Independen
ce seekers
• view themselves and conduct their lives as primarily part of the broader
society. They are likely to be second or third generation, and have little or
no experience of their family’s country of origin. They tend to believe that
sport is, and should be, for anyone who enjoys it, and they tend to engage
in ethnically integrated sporting activities.

Risk Assessment means
taking a systematic approach
to looking at what could
cause harm to people.
Why is it important to do a
risk assessment on your
environment before you
start any activities
By assessing risk, you know
where potential problems
and dangers lie, and can,
therefore, take measures to
prevent them.
To ensure the safety of
clients
How would you go
about doing the risk
assessment
One way to do this is
to produce a table.
It helps to involve the
people actually
engaged in, or
experienced in the
particular activity.
The first step is to
isolate an activity and
identify who and what
would be involved.
From this you can then
create a list of risks and
hazards.
Activity
Hazard
Swimming carnival
depth of water, slippery surfaces, drowning, sunburn
Wake boarding
drowning, dangerous objects, damaged safety equipment
Touch football
uneven playing surface, bad weather, high temperature
Basketball
water on court, over-heating of player
Visit to the gymnasium
lack of orientation on how to use equipment safely leading to injury
Anti-social side line
behaviour from spectators
If the behaviour becomes
too aggressive call the police.
In threatening situation you
may be able to approach the
offender and inform them on
appropriate crowd behaviour
If you have crowd security
they may be able to do this
for you
What would you do to
distinguish the
situation now and for
the future
Provide information on
crowd ethics and
behaviours. This can be
done through media,
This can be done
through media,
newsletters, meeting
and poster.
