Module 1 : SHARED UNDERSTANDING
‘Shared Understanding’ enables students to work collaboratively with clients to develop a shared understanding of the factors relevant to navigating complex safety and risk issues.
Informed by contemporary evidence, participants will learn how to:
- assess both short-term and long-term risk (relevant to the client and their situation)
- integrate internationally recognised ISO 31000 Risk Management Guidelines and principles into practical Recovery-oriented working with clients
- appreciate the roles of strengths, vulnerabilities, red flags and safety needs when working collaboratively with clients
- develop evidence- based collaborative Recovery plans that will enhance safety

Module 2 : ENHANCING SAFETY
Enhancing Safety enables students to effectively collaborate with clients to apply evidence-based approaches to reducing risk, enhancing safety and promoting opportunities for growth.
Informed by contemporary evidence, participants will learn how to:
- conduct a ‘short-term risk assessment’ in collaboration with a client
- engage in proactive care planning that both promotes opportunities for well-being outcomes and reduces risk of harm
- integrate ‘dignity of risk’ and ‘duty of care’ considerations
- appreciate the role of ‘capacity’ when working with clients
- outline the 4 elements of the ‘Improvement Cycle’ when monitoring client progress
- use goal- directed approaches to integrate care with long- term risk management
- demonstrate how to use measures of change that are client-focussed and Recovery-oriented.
