External speaker assessment form

Information on the procedure for assessing external speakers invited to University events.

University members who are organising an event will be asked to complete a short risk assessment at the point of booking a University or EUSA space.  The purpose of this risk assessment is to establish whether an event/an external speaker at an event will be compliant with the University’s broad, statutory (legal) responsibilities. It is not to discourage the discussion of controversial or difficult topics at the University.
