CHSCP: Group C - LADO: Completing Employment-Based Risk Assessments

Aim of the course:

This course specifically targets Designated Safeguarding Leads, Line Managers, and Supervisors. It aims to provide employers and managers with guidance and advice on how to conduct employment-based risk assessments where concerns have been raised about a worker’s professional conduct, or issues in their private life. It also provides tools to utilise and suggestions of issues to consider, so that risk assessments can be done effectively and collaboratively with employees, to reduce any potential risk to children and increase safety for the employee and employer.

By the end of the course delegates will:

• understand the purpose of Risk Assessments and how they apply to employment based issues,
• have increased confidence and skill in completing employment-based risk assessments,
• be able to better consider how personal life-based concerns may have transferability to employment based activities, and
• have considered a range of case studies and examples to better understand the nuances in relation to employment-based risk assessment and the impact upon work based safety.
