Assessing safeguarding risks
What are our safeguarding risks and how do we best manage them?
Organisations are expected to have risk management tools to identify, assess, mitigate, treat, manage, record and monitor risks relating to children and young people in their services, programs and activities. However, many organisations are unclear about how this integrates into existing risk management practices and they lack an understanding of the risk profile of their particular organisation.
What will we learn?
This session will explore the areas of child safeguarding risk organisations must consider (situational, propensity, vulnerability, institutional), physical and online environmental risks and responsibilities when working with partner organisations.
National Principles addressed: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 (Victorian Child Safe Standards 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11)
