This risk assessment is divided into three sections: a) The service user and how they interact with the support workers b) Proposed activities and social engagements c) Home Assessment Each section asks for any hazards to be identified, discussion with the family of how they normally manage these hazards and an agreement as to how it will be managed when the worker(s) work with the family. This risk assessment is a dynamic document in respect of its purpose and will be regularly reviewed to ensure the needs of the service user are met and safe environment is maintained. SECTION C – Home Assessment A home risk assessment should be completed to identify any hazards around the home and how these may relate to the service provided by the worker(s). If the support requirements are community based it would still be beneficial for us to undertake a home risk assessment so that we have the future option of home sit in sessions.
