54Chapter 2 – Key Messages
1.
Risk management needs to be on every agenda of every
committee and needs to be constantly reviewed and evaluated.
Risk is not static it is dynamic.
2.
Mental health services must develop a robust and proactive
approach to the assessment, identification and understanding of
the risks inherent within the delivery of mental health services.
This should include the views of service users.
3.
The risk management process should include all clinical and
non-clinical risk and needs to be supported by an integrated
communications plan for risk and quality management.
4.
Staff must be encouraged and enabled to identify, report and
analyse risks in their working practices and to incorporate
controls to eliminate or reduce risk.
5.
The risk register is the repository for risk information and should
be used by all services – it is an essential tool for the ongoing
monitoring and management of identified risk issues
6.
The development of a safety improvement programme can be
supported by sharing learning through groups such as quality
circles, user groups and risk management groups.
