Paper version of the AIM Risk Assessment tool:
The
ICR function is not working yet (at early 2015) - so use the
Risk Assessment - paper form, or your own team's paperwork
For ICR users:
You can view existing Risks by clicking here:
Making a new risk assessment - INSTRUCTIONS
- Leave blank if no risk identified, or no change in risk identified.
- If a new risk or changed risk identified, click on the "New Risk" button and follow the instructions.
- Keep descriptions SHORT and stick to KNOWN FACTS, or document where these are uncertain.
Use the Risk Grading System!
Always RATE the risk in the Title (from A - E)- You must delete the phrase "[Rate risk here: A - E]" in the pre-formed title
- Then replace it with a single letter (A - E):
| A: | Person’s history and/or warning signs indicate the presence of risk and this is considered imminent. Highest priority to be given to risk prevention. |
| B: | Circumstances such that a risk management plan should be / has been drawn up and implemented. |
| C: | Person’s history and condition indicate the presence of risk and this is considered to be a significant issue at present. Requires a contingency risk management plan. |
| D: | Low apparent risk. No current indication of risk, but person’s history and/or warning signs indicate possible risk. Required precautions covered by standard care plan i.e. no special risk prevention measures or plan required. |
| E: | No apparent risk. No history/warning signs indicative of risk. In most cases this would mean that you would not click on the risk item at all, but it is left in here in case a risk that was previously assessed as being present is re-assessed and found to have resolved itself, etc... |
- Adding these gradings means that individual risk items are sorted in order of priority.
- This means you can quickly identify which risks need Crisis Contingency Planning, and which require immediate prioritisation, or action, etc.
