Health & Safety, GDPR and Licences

Health and safety are key considerations for all PTA committee members. Before putting on any event your association should carry out a full risk assessment. 

The data protection laws apply to all organisations – even small charities such as Parent Teacher Associations. Read our guidance and use our resources to help your PTA manage GDPR and the ePrivacy regulations. 

Excellent planning is key to managing your events safely, because whatever the size of the event, you’ll need to make sure it’s fun, safe and enjoyable for everyone. Read about health and safety, safeguarding, first aid and more to check you’ve got everything covered. 

Some events or activities will require a licence so whether you are running a raffle/​lottery, serving alcohol or putting on some sort of entertainment (like a concert or film night) don’t forget to check whether you need one.
