Info for event Leaders

The current BDS Risk Assessments for Field Meetings and for Indoor Meetings and Courses can be downloaded below and may be adapted as necessary by event leaders.

Only BDS-organised events sent to us in advance and displayed on our website are covered by BDS insurance (check that your event is displayed before it takes place). If you are leading a BDS event or thinking about doing so, you might find the Notes for Leaders helpful.
