Our training course is designed to give you practical knowledge and confidence to handle risks effectively.
What Is a Risk Assessment?
Risk assessments are about identifying potential hazards and finding ways to prevent harm. In a care setting, this could involve:
- Checking for trip hazards in a client’s home.
- Ensuring equipment is safe to use.
- Recognising behaviours that could pose risks to yourself or others.
A good risk assessment doesn’t just protect those you support—it keeps you safe, too.
