💻 Online Workshop: Working With Risk

Audience

This one day session is designed for Social Care practitioners working directly with adults.

Aim

Understand how to work effectively and positively with risk. In the context of strengths-based working, participants will explore the core professional skills to make confident and defensible decisions about risk and relate this to safeguarding practices.

Participants will recognise and challenge the importance of legal literacy in relation to working with risk and how case law can inform risk enablement in practice. They will also explore how diversity, intersectionality and power can impact risk and how to create a positive risk culture.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand what a ‘risk positive approach’ and ‘risk enablement’ mean, and why they are important to adult social care practice.
  • Define the difference between ‘simple’ and ‘complex’ risk.
  • Make links between working with risk and person-centred practice.
  • Identify the skills, knowledge, and values that you need in defensible decision-making around risk.
  • Your confidence will increase in using case law to inform your practice with risk.
  • Understand the role of cultural humility and structural discrimination in working with risk.


Please Note: This event is a six hour online workshop delivered through Microsoft Teams. Please ensure you are able to attend the whole workshop. A quiet, undisturbed environment will help you get the most from the session.
