Why This Course Matters
Risk assessments and care/support plans should be living documents that reflect each child’s individual story, vulnerabilities, strengths, and aspirations. Poorly written or generic plans not only undermine safety, they also compromise the effectiveness of care. This course will help participants:
✔️ Understand the purpose and structure of effective planning and risk documentation
✔️ Create individualised, practical, and needs-led plans
✔️ Apply a trauma-informed, relational approach to risk and care
✔️ Ensure regulatory compliance while enhancing the quality of practice
✔️ Use documentation to support staff, guide interventions, and evidence progress
