Risk assessments

Risk assessments should be carried out across all aspects of your provision.  The Inclusion Team recommend that any child who has a Health Care Plan in place should also have an accompanying Risk Assessment.  Both documents should be up-dated regularly to demonstrate the steps that practitioners are making to meet the needs of the child and to keep them safe from harm.
