Risk for most people is an accepted part of everyday life e.g. catching a bus or walking to the shop etc... will carry some element of risk. Risk is associated with our health, safety, security, well being, employment, education, daily activities, using resources and equipment and community participation.

Everyone has the right to take risks and make
Without a certain amount of risk taking nothing could be achieved, this is because even the food that we consume on a daily basis could have a negative impact on our lives. The opposite side to this are the benefits that come from taking little risks every day, these may include how we get to work in the morning, what we choose to take part in within an activity or even how hot we like our bath water.

Whilst on placement with the Aberdeenshire Council Children and Families Team I adhered to the lone working policy to ensure my safety when out of the office working with clients.

Risk… such a difficult word to define. Generally associated with negative connotations, oftentimes viewing risks as things you should stay away from – things that will undoubtedly lead to your downfall.

Personally, I’ve never been much of a risk taker, primarily because it seems like I’ve never been faced with opportunities in which I’ve had to take risks. Honestly, the greatest risks I had taken during my pre collegiate years probably involved talking back to my parents, all of which I regretted soon after.

Risk identification takes place when an organization identify their assets by organizing, categorizing, and prioritizing the data into small groups that are alike (Whitman & Mattord, 2014). Risk identification starts with detecting information assets. An information asset is a set of data that is structured, well defined, and managed as a single component. The information assets in my personal life include my home computer (desktop), laptop, tablet, application software, cell phone, and myself.

When we were young we really didn't understand what risks were, we just did things as we saw fit to do them. Sometimes as older individuals we need to take risks as we did when were young. Instead of the over analyzing and the procrastination sometimes we just have to look
