as they are students and teachers they could physically harm the Model, or disrupt filming
and set, such as coming into the set and knocking items over which could land on people and
cause harm

This is not very likely if we get a closed room out of the way of the school students and if we
aware teachers of what is happening
How much harm?
Not too much harm can be done unless people without knowledge of what is happening
cause an accident with props and set.
How will this risk be managed?
to manage the risk I will book a private location which is only accessible a few such as myself,
the media teachers and so on , all these people will know what is happening. I will have a
safe set so that there is the smallest risk possible in the set, so accidents are less likely to
cause damage.

need to be powered
How much harm?
