1.
E f fective clinical risk management involves partnership to
support the service user and enable a dynamic sensitivity to the
service users needs, vulnerabilities and evolving behaviours.
2.
All mental health professionals have a role to play in both
assessing and managing risk. Mutual respect between the
service user and mental health professional supports staff in
their duty of care to service users, the carers, colleagues and
others.
3.
Multiple assessment methods and the use of different sources
of information are important.
4.
Risk is safely identified if all parameters (Historical, Clinical,
Dispositional and Contextual) & features of individual
functioning are examined.
5.
Risk assessment tools should support rather than replace
professional judgement.
6.
Having identified risk there is an absolute duty of care to
manage it.
