Security seekers
• place high value on their ethnic origin and culture, but are more open to exploring and potentially valuing other ways of life.
Harmony seekers
• view themselves and conduct their lives as primarily part of the broader society. They are likely to be second or third generation, and have little or no experience of their family’s country of origin. They tend to believe that sport is, and should be, for anyone who enjoys it, and they tend to engage in ethnically integrated sporting activities.

Why is it important to do a risk assessment on your environment before you
start any activities
Risk Assessment means taking a systematic
approach to looking at what could cause harm to
people.
By assessing risk, you know where potential problems and dangers lie, and can,
therefore, take measures to prevent them.
To ensure the safety of clients
How would you go about doing the risk
assessment
The first step is to isolate an activity and identify who and what
would be involved.
From this you can then create a list of risks and
hazards.
It helps to involve the people actually engaged in, or
experienced in the particular activity.
One way to do this is to produce a table.
Activity Hazard
Swimming carnival depth of water, slippery surfaces, drowning, sunburn
Wake boarding drowning, dangerous objects, damaged safety equipment
Touch football uneven playing surface, bad weather, high temperature
Basketball water on court, over-heating of player
Visit to the gymnasium lack of orientation on how to use equipment safely leading to injury
Anti-social side line behaviour from spectators
In threatening situation you may be able to approach the offender and inform them on appropriate crowd behaviour
If you have crowd security they may be able to do this
for you
If the behaviour becomes too aggressive call the police.
What would you do to distinguish the
situation now and for the future
Provide information on crowd ethics and
behaviours. This can be done through media,
This can be done through media,
newsletters, meeting and poster.
