Module 1: Risk Assessment and Risk Management: Principles, Problems and Effective Practice.

Risk Assessment: A Professional Responsibility

Why it is essential to be able to make a Risk Assessment. The legal and professional
issues that underlie it. Legal precedents and what they imply. The difficulty of accurately predicting rare events; the ethical problems posed by ‘false positives’ – and what to do
about it.

Managing Risk, so you can work safely with risky clients.

This section covers ‘best practice’ in risk management, how to work with the maximum professional and personal safety with high-risk clients. We examine the ‘management’ section of the DICES system and delegates get the chance to apply the guide to their
own clients.
