Your Risk Management Program: A Handbook for Sport Organizations
“Risk management is not a checklist, an insurance policy, an emergency response plan, a waiver form, a volunteer screening system, or a warning sign, although any one of these might be a component of your risk management plan.” In Your Risk Management Program: A Handbook for Sport Organizations, the authors steer a middle course between two other volumes in the Centre for Sport and Law handbook series. In Managing Risks (1993) they provided a simple, clear overview of the topic of risk management. In Negligence and Liability (1995), they give an in-depth look at liability- what it is and practical steps to avoid it. In this guide, Your Risk Management Program, they again outline the basic steps in risk management, they examine negligence and liability (but in less depth), and then they continue to deliver a solid “how to do it” guide to actually creating a working risk management plan.
Your Risk Management Program: A Handbook for Sport Organizations differs from the previous handbooks in the breadth of the treatment of topic areas. Overviews of negligence, liability, management of disputes, and protecting the organization’s assets are all given in a succinct form, where they are covered in more depth in other handbooks in the series. The guide ends with Putting It All Together in a Risk Management Program, which outlines steps to follow and provides a sample risk management plan developed by a real sport organization. Your Risk Management Program: A Handbook for Sport Organizations is a practical, useable guide to developing a risk management program.
