Managing Risk in School Sport
Managing Risk in School Sport
This webinar provides a structured approach to risk management specifically designed for association-level sports administrators. Rather than focusing on individual school compliance, we will explore the unique governance and duty-of-care obligations of associations hosting multi-school events.
Drawing on over two decades of operational experience, David Gregory will guide attendees through event risk planning, documentation and the management of high-risk activities. We will move beyond “paperwork for the sake of paperwork,” focusing on building a genuine culture of safety and preparedness within your organisation. Attendees will gain a structured lens for assessing risk across diverse competitions, practical tools to strengthen defensibility and the confidence to balance broad participation opportunities with robust delivery standards. This session is designed to empower professionals to manage dynamic environments and ensure programs are memorable for the right reasons.
