About the resource
The most pressing concern a professional faces when working with vulnerable children is making decisions concerning risk. This training pack guides staff through the risk assessment and management process related to child care and child protection.

It seeks to promote principles based on the rights of people at risk of harm to make choices about risk and risk taking.

The training comprises of four modules and each is based on a specific stage of the risk assessment and management process.
