"Access To Text" may also need to be included in the risk assessment as limited reading fluency, according to ESSU (Essential Skills Support Unit) significantly limits the cognative abilities of the young people to understand and fully participate in Health & Safety training let alone observe warning signs etc.
7 Million charactorised as 'Functionally Illiterate' let alone 10% of population who experience Reading Difficulties associated with Dyslexia or 32% of population with other visual problems affecting their ability to perform vision dependent tasks requiring visual stamina as display screen users or other machinery.

We are planning to undertake the WHAC at our secondary school as part of an enrichment day. If anyone has any practical experience of teaching this course for under 16s either at a school or in a workplace, I'd love to hear from you.

Violence not a good example to set for young people especially as they may have small furry animals at home and they should only be using small rounders bats rather than American version to Whac a soft ball however they feel about the moles in their Dad's lawn or strangely misplaced penguins on an iceberg.
Or try a game of consequences and/or completing a Health & Safety check of their school or home plenty of non-violent resources available for those activities.........
