Risk Assessment and Management

Working with people who pose significant risks to themselves or others is a challenge and concern for workers, carers and service users themselves. This course examines our own beliefs and definitions and blends these with lessons learned and best practice.

Starts on	21/07/2009
Location	London

By the end of the course participants should have:

·an increased understanding of risk in their own working context

·an increased knowledge of how to effectively risk assess individuals and environments

·an ability to produce risk and support plans that are inclusive

·an ability to develop assessments into risk management and crisis plans.

·access to models of best practice that can be adapted to their own working context including consideration of confidentiality, data protection, accountability, partnership working, authority to disclose and vulnerable adult protection pathways.

This course helps us challenge our own beliefs and the impact this can have on the way we treat individuals. We will encourage participants to consider their own service’s approach to risk and how they might improve risk management for the benefit of the service, staff and service users themselves.
