1 ANGUS COUNCIL SOCIAL WORK AND HEALTH MANUAL OF OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTION NO SUBJECT: RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT Staff responsible: Service managers Team leaders and senior social workers Care managers and social workers Occupational therapy staff Statutory basis: Human Rights Act 1998 Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Race Relations (Amendment) Act 1995 Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 Data Protection Act 1998 Purpose: To provide staff with guidance and a standardised risk assessment framework. This framework does not replace other specialist risk assessment tools already in use. 1. RISK ASSESSMENT The primary case accountable worker should complete a specific risk assessment when there are high levels of risk that cannot be managed within a service users normal care plan. Wherever possible, normal or low level risk should be managed and monitored through the care plan. Consideration should be given to completion of a specific risk assessment when known risks need a discreet management plan or where there is an increased level of risk that cannot be incorporated into the care plan. This would normally occur when consequences of failure to manage the risk present a major risk either to the individual service user or/and to the wider community. A decision to complete the risk assessment would normally be made in discussion/supervision with the line manager. This decision should be recorded, along with the reasons why the risk assessment is needed. The risk assessment should be completed using form POVA3 (Appendix 1). The completed risk assessment should be shared with the individual and with other staff as appropriate and this noted on the completed form. If the risk assessment needs to be shared more widely, the service users consent should be sought (and noted on the form). If the service user lacks capacity a decision should be made about whether an advocate or someone 1
2 ANGUS COUNCIL SOCIAL WORK AND HEALTH else should be involved/informed. It may be appropriate to involve relatives if the service user agrees. 2. RISK MANAGEMENT The recommendations flowing from the risk assessment should be clearly specified in section 6 and 7 of the risk assessment documentation. The risk management plan (section 7) should flow from these recommendations. This should specify what action is taken to minimise the risk and possible harm including timescales and responsibilities for implementation of the plan. 3. REVIEW A review of the risk assessment/management plan is essential and an agreed date should be arranged which must be within six months of the initial risk assessment. The risk assessment should be updated using form POVA 4 (Appendix 2). If there are increased levels of risk or changes in the circumstances of the service user, the line manager should be informed and a review arranged at the earliest opportunity, in order to make the necessary changes to the risk management plan. 4. WHEN RISKS HAVE REDUCED When the professionals involved agree that risks have reduced to a level that no longer requires a specific risk management plan, this should recorded in the appropriate place in the case records e.g. annual review, case notes, minute of meeting, POVA 4, etc. Any ongoing issues should be integrated into the service users care plan and be subject to the agreed monitoring arrangements. 5. RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS The process is outlined in Appendix RECORDING The worker and the line manager should sign and date all documentation relating to the risk assessment and risk management plan. All documentation must be filed in the risk assessment section of the casefile with the most recent on top. 7. DISSENT Any dissent should be recorded. The professionals involved need to be clear how this will be managed. Attempts should be made to ensure that the views of the person(s) expressing dissent have been taken on board and understood. 2
3 ANGUS COUNCIL SOCIAL WORK AND HEALTH Adult Protection Risk Assessment This form should be used when a Single Shared needs assessment, or a Review, or an Adult Protection investigation or a significant incident reveals a significant level of risk of abuse or harm; or when complex needs interact to create significant risks; and when high levels of risk cannot be managed within a normal care plan.
