To be controversial (?)
Why are disabled students any more risky than other students? Are they
liable to spontaneously combust? Personally I think that to have forms that
are for particular impairments is not appropriate and one INCLUSIVE risk
assessment form for all students (all = disabled and others) should suffice.
And if you have one, inclusive form then it won't be your responsibility to
complete it and you will have saved yourself a tedious task!
