Hi I have recently been appointed as HSO within a small training provider, providing short 'back to work' courses as part of our remit. A potential learner has been referred to us for a particular course that requires 2 days IT training. However, this learner has a medical condition (cyst on the brain) that means they cannot sit for long periods of time at a pc. We have agreed to remove this element of the training. Would we be required to undertake a full risk assessment for this person whilst they are on our premises/ undertaking training with us? I have not yet met with/ spoke to this learner, only recieving notification of their condition this evening via email, so I am not sure of the effect this condition has on the person in question. Many Thanks for helping/ any advice given... much appreciated ( I have been out of HS for a few years)

you should do all that is reasonable to ensure that your 'learners' are safe and cared for anso as you can care for them and if that involves knowing something about their medical condition so be it - its a perfectly reasonable thing to do and it is totally legal consult with the various parties so as you can proactively risk assess and put in place appropriate managing arrangements
