About The Course

Effective risk assessment is a cornerstone of safe, person-centred adult and senior care. Care professionals frequently face decisions involving health, mobility, medication, and environmental safety. This course explores how to identify risks without undermining autonomy, how to complete structured risk assessments, and how to implement proportionate control measures.

Learners will gain competence in recognising hazards specific to older adults and those with disabilities, applying principles of safeguarding and dignity, and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. By the end, participants will have developed the skills needed to create safer and more empowering care environments.
