"Professional Risk and Working with People outlines the principles involved in risk, and offers guidance on how to assess, support and improve risk decisions in professional situations." "The authors analyse the type of risk decisions that a range of professionals might encounter both individually and within organisations, and provide a range of ideas to help professionals to think through risk assessments and management plans. They detail the benefits of risk as well as the potential harm, and explain relevant legislation and concepts of negligence in clear and accessible language. Current poor procedure and practice is highlighted, and advice is provided on satisfying legal requirements. The book provides practical advice to aid effective communication about risk and offers reommendations for practice and policy." "In the current 'blame culture' this book is essential reading tor all practitioners who must make difficult risk decisions; including social workers, nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals, probation and prison staff, trainers and students."--BOOK JACKET |
