Members taking part in all group activities are reminded that they do so at their own risk.
Groups are always obliged to have a risk assessment in place, so our activities are as safe as possible, and Group Contacts and members are covered by u3a insurance. It is your responsibility to take note of any risks and also be aware of any risks that may be personal to you in terms of your health or disability. Please speak to the Group Contact if you have any queries.
Members should be aware of symptoms of illnesses which may be circulating. Please consider other members who may have health vulnerabilities when making decisions about attending.

Risk Assessment for Members' Homes from June 2024 onwards
Your Group Contacts, or host for specific meetings, are likely to be aware of the needs of the members of their groups. However, it is your responsibility to alert the Contact for your group if you have a particular need. We recognise that this may change from time to time.
Members should be aware of symptoms of illnesses which may be circulating. Please consider other members who may have health vulnerabilities when making decisions about attending.
In general, Group Contacts have taken the following points into consideration:
- Accessibility. Would a group member with mobility issues have a difficulty?
- Can members park nearby?
- Are there any potential hazards? (e.g., steep steps, dog etc.) These may change from time to time
- Are there any risks specific to your activity? If yes, the members will be alerted by email.
