High-Risk Fieldwork

There may be a situation where the story that you want to go out and cover might not be covered by the Risk Assessment we have. This doesn't mean that you can't do these things, but we do need to put in place some additional controls to ensure your safety. 

If you aren't sure if your fieldwork is high-risk, you should speak to your module supervisor, who will be able to tell you if you need to complete the high-risk Fieldwork Risk Assessment form.

The form can be found on the Blackboard site in the High-Risk Fieldwork section. This form can be completed on your computer and emailed to your tutor, or printed out and handwritten and then signed off by your supervisor. A completed copy would also need to be sent to journalismhs@sheffield.ac.uk.
