You also need to be aware of your responsibilities to ensure the safety of children and young people when on school trips. You must ensure that the relevant risk assessments have been put in place and that you familiarise yourself with them before the school trip, by doing this you do not leave yourselves open to the accusation of
The booklets must be kept on the school premises. Risks should be assessed periodically, following an accident, on the introduction of any new process/equipment and also any change in circumstances. Educational visits also require a written risk assessment. There is a folder of the most frequently used venues in the staff room, containing risk assessments. There is also a folder containing risk assessments for each group in the same place. All staff and group leaders must ensure that they have read these documents before embarking on a trip and must sign to acknowledge this each time they take children on a trip as part of the signing out procedure.
It is important to take into account the health and safe requirements of all pupils before planning or starting any activity, ensuring that the environment is free of hazards and the children can play and learn safely.
This means keeping children safe from accidents (i.e. road safety), crime and bullying and actively promoting their well-being in a healthy, safe and supportive environment. It also encompasses issues such as pupil health and safety and bullying, about which there are specific statutory requirements, and a range of other issues, for example, arrangements for meeting the medical needs of children with medical conditions, providing first aid, school security, drugs and substance misuse.
3.4 summarise the types of risks that may be involved in assessment in own area of responsibility.
As professionals, we have a duty to ensure that children and young people are protected while they are in our care and that where we have other concerns outside school, these are investigated fully. School policies and procedures need to be such that parents and governors are aware of them and that staff are fully trained with regard to safeguarding. Schools will need to consider and include in their policies:
There are various organisational and legal requirements for supervising children on journeys, visits and activities outside of the school setting. These include policies and procedures which should be carried out by the school including risk assessments of areas that will be visited (New2teaching, 2013).
Children in school gain academic and other life skills which engages them to understand various situations including knowledge about health and safety and how to protect themselves from any possible danger. Teaching staff plays vital role in making them aware about their own safety.
Worksheets, such as the Missouri and Washington Risk Assessments are valuable tools used by criminal justice practitioners. Moreover, Risk Assessment scales are used in both formal and informal capacities, to determine the potential risk or harm an individual poses to society should he or she be released from detention or custody. The following is an example of how the Missouri and Washington Risk Assessment worksheets can be utilized when applied in two completely different cases; it is important to remember that the primary purpose of both Risk Assessment Scales are to identify specific classifications of juvenile offenders. Offenders are classified on a scale of being low, moderate, or at high-risk behavior and each assessment places
Within in my own setting one of my roles is to promote individuals’ independence but in the same time we have to protect them from harm and danger. Everybody takes risks in everyday living therefore people living in care homes should be able to that, too. When we look after our residents, we make sure that they are aware of any risks involved, e.g. before they go out. Risk assessment is completed. Risk assessment covers many areas like showering themselves, going out on their own. We do them with our residents to identify what they want, what risks it involves, and how they can be avoided or minimized.
The need for risk/ needs assessment is to help predict the productive validity rate of juvenile offenders. There are many different instruments used to help classify delinquent youths and their likelihood of reoffending. Risk / needs assessment were primarily designed to the male population. Many researchers have examined gendered differences and feel as if there should be a “different need” approach that should be in place for women (Stephane M. Shepherd, 2012). Further researchers have found that females commit crime just as harsh and harmful as male juvenile offenders. By examining research conducted further research was able to be conducted to determine if the risk/ needs assessment instruments used to predict productive validity are as effective for female juvenile offenders.
I previously identified several types of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities that exist with your multilayered network. I have now been charged with the responsibility of developing a strategy to deal with these risks as well as a plan to mitigate each risk to reduce the impact that each will have on your organization.
This Risk Management Plan is developed to assist with the Defense Logistics Information Service by providing precise recommendations and rules to secure risk management is considered and encompassed. The plan and purpose is to prevent the loss of confidentially in data by analyzing the risks and afford evidence on application of risk controls to ensure security.
Thesis: In the area of risk assessment society struggles, sometimes irrationally, with the value of human life, hoping someday to reach a reasonable balance between cost and effect of saving lives.
"All of the tools perform the same basic function; however, they perform them differently" (Schreider, 2003). Each product is a questionnaire based on the type of organization, asset value, etc. More sophisticated products also allow importation or links to data from penetration tests, intelligence reports, and other risk-gathering formats. They also perform calculations for risk probability and rank each risk by level of importance. The comprehensive design calculates loss estimates, such as ALE, and financial metrics (cost of mitigation and return on investment).
A risk analysis was prepared as part of the review of Ford as a potential investment opportunity. The Capital Asset Pricing Model defines “the relevant risk of an individual stock as the amount of risk that the stock contributes to the market portfolio” (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2014, p. 250). The risk of a stock can be measured by its beta. The higher the beta of a stock, the higher the risk. Stocks with a beta below one are less volatile than the market while stocks with a beta of greater than one are more volatile than the market. Well-diversified portfolios include a stocks with both high and low betas (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2014, p. 250).
