Identifying Risk. Preventing Harm. Supporting Safe Care.
Risk assessment is a fundamental part of health and social care. It helps staff identify potential hazards, reduce the likelihood of harm, and support individuals safely while respecting their rights, choices and independence. Our Risk Assessment in Health and Social Care course equips care staff with the knowledge, understanding and confidence to recognise risks, contribute to effective risk assessments, and follow safe working practices in everyday care. This training supports organisations to manage risk proactively while delivering person-centred, balanced care.
