As a club secretary and a coach, I already have a small mountain of paperwork to fullfill, without any do gooder at gnas or elsewhere adding to the pile. (crbs, local council accreditation, clubmark, detail coaching logs, cpd, the list goes on...).
Its getting so that there isnt time to actually do any archery between writing up reports and documents about the club activities that we dont get time to do cause I'm too busy with all the damn paperwork.
I suspect that too many organisations are made up of committees of people with nothing better to do with their time than justify their own importance by finding other people things to do. |
Not a very helpful reply G-A. There are organisations (ATC, Armed Forces etc) who already insist on a Risk Assessment for archery.
I completed one for both indoor and outdoor last year for the ATC.
The whole point of an RA is to identify the risks and ensure that safeguards are in place to remove or minimise the consequences of those risks. (Risks cannot be removed usually)
