One of the things our org does is offer our premises for kids birthday parties where our we organise and provide activities for the kids. Some of the parents always remain to supervise. A party has been booked in the near future, however we have been asked if one of the adults from their group can carry out face painting when they come on our site. We sometimes hire a face painter ourselves for various fund raising events and have all the procedueres in place for that. What would requirements be if one of their party want to do this?

Thanks Jane So a simple risk assessment looks in order then - were there any insurance implications for your son??

No, because he generally does it at parties in people's homes or where they have hired a hall privately. It is a very low risk activity once the simple precautions above are taken, compared to running and chasing games.

Thanks Ron I agree - however I've had mention of getting disclaimers, liability insurance, risk assessments thrown at me. One of the mums attending wants to enhance their day by doing a bit of face painting for the kids attending - can't see any significant problems myself!! Dave

Looks like we're in accord Dave. There is always the risk of incurring unwarranted and unwanted liability just by taking any sort of "controlling interest" in these matters though. This can all be readily avoided by simply ignoring the trivial! Your conditions of let will presumably already make clear the extent of your liability and list any exlcuded or prohibited activities etc.
