Choose the closest starting point. Both pathways produce the same risk assessment; this only changes which questions appear first.
The guided builder keeps this draft in the current browser tab only until it is handed to the assessment editor. It does not use AI.
Activity details
Tell us the essentials.
Only information needed to organise and identify the assessment is requested here.
The advanced editor will confirm the exact map pin before location-dependent checks are final.
Activities & hazards
What will the group actually do?
Select all that apply. These choices connect to the existing hazard packs and determine which safety questions appear later.
Anything else?
People & capability
Who is supervising, and what needs consideration?
Add staff once, then select common qualifications instead of repeatedly typing them.
Participant factors
Select only factors relevant to the group. Individual health plans remain school-controlled records.
Readiness
What is confirmed, and what still needs doing?
These are planning actions, not hazards. Anything still in progress will be carried forward as an outstanding action.
Transport
School emergency contact
Backup emergency communication
Especially important for remote activities or locations with uncertain mobile reception.
Expected mobile reception
Use local knowledge and the carrier coverage-map links shown later. Coverage maps are predictive, so uncertain or limited reception should be backed by another communication method.
Simple itinerary
Build the day without a spreadsheet.
Start with a suggested timeline, then change only the times or events that matter. More detailed tables can still be added later if needed.
Review
Check the plan before building the risk table.
ExcursionIQ will carry your answers into the existing risk engine. You can still edit hazards, ratings and controls before the document is final.

No AI is used to generate this draft. The existing hazard library and deterministic rules create the first-pass hazards; staff remain responsible for review and approval.
