This course is for staff and volunteers in frontline and office roles. You’ll learn to notice risks early, work out how serious they are and report them clearly. You’ll also learn how to talk through a safety concern with the person and find a safer way for them to do what matters to them.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• recognise risks connected with the person’s circumstances, the place, the situation or the organisation
• use likelihood and consequence to rate a risk and choose what to do next
• recognise hazards, near misses and incidents and use the appropriate internal reporting process
• choose and check safeguards that match the level of risk and involve the person in the decision
• explain how your role supports the NDIS Practice Standard on risk management.

Allow about 20 minutes for the online learning, plus workplace observations and follow-up with your team leader / manager.
