Description

An important part of a social worker’s job is to assess and manage risk as part of their assessment work and any ongoing intervention they may be involved in. There are no easy answers in terms of how to do this, but there are tools that we can use and important insights that can inform our practice.

Neil Thompson is a well known and highly respected UK social work author. He has been training social workers and others on risk assessment and management for over thirty years. In his work he emphasizes that there is no such thing as a “risk-free zone”. Because of this, social workers need to have a high level of awareness of risk, access to helpful tools and an appreciation of what is involved in managing risk effectively.

The course provides a sound foundation of understanding and introduces some useful risk management tools. In terms of ongoing risk management the course emphasizes the need for a balanced approach, neither complacent nor risk averse.

This course has an important role to play in reducing anxiety and boosting confidence in what can be a difficult aspect of practice. It will be of great value to everyone involved in social work or other disciplines that need to assess and manage risk.

This course was quite in-depth. It helps me to not look at risk as being a bad thing altogether but more so understand that risk is a part of life. It also helped me to realize to look at things in a broader context. This helps both client and social worker.

I found Neil’s course clear and easy to comprehend (as are his books) the expert on communication he is, this comes across in his teachings. I very much enjoyed the course and working towards my CPD after ten years, I find this is an excellent way to do this around my two young children. Being able to scroll through and revisit the Videos is particularly useful. I would like the conclusion to include some key bullet points from Neil to be able to marry up with my own learning notes later. I think this could be useful too.
