Dynamic Risk in Residential Care
Safeguarding is a live activity that unfolds as you work. Recognising and planning for risk are essential, but we must train and trust our staff to respond to situations as they arise.
This course explores how to equip staff with the knowledge and abilities to conduct a structured risk assessment that aids in the decision-making process.
