Risk assessment
• In imposing the restrictions – with a
purpose that restrictions are minimal
and to test whether all less restricting
possibilities have been exhausted
• In expanding possibilities – with a
purpose to enable people to do
things, participate in the events
which have not been allowed or were
restricted
Criteria for restrictions
• Life in danger
• Serious body harm
• Serious psychic traumas (severe
losses, insults, psychological
or sexual
abuse)
• Meaningful material loss
Expanding opportunities:
•
•
•
•
•
Growing up, emancipation
rehabilitation
Release from an institution
Holydays and adventures
New relationships
Risk analysis principles:
•
•
•
•
•
Probability
No patronising
Being concrete
Being focused
Proactive harm reduction
In risk analysis it is necessary to
distinguish between :
• hazard and
•danger
.
Hazard:
• Points to the danger, it alarms.
• It is a necessary condition to be exposed to
the danger but not a sufficient condition for
something to happen.
• It is not (yet) an event, but only a
circumstance, a contingency, a condition for
an event to happen.
• Perception of a hazard is important – we
learn about the danger
Hazard has two main
features:
• It is a condition for an event to arise,
• It is a factor that with its seriousness
and density increases the probability of
an event
Besides it is an indicator of danger and a
means of introducing it in our world of
meanings
Danger:
• Is an event, an outcome,
• That has a certain probability to happen
Something that can happen
Risk and harm reduction
measures and interventions
• Technical (condoms, safety belts, whistle, life line, security valets,
pills box etc.)
• Changes in habits, information, consciousness, skills (safe sex,
road safety, information on personal characteristic – being
quarrelsome, stubborn, spending, getting geographical orientation,
learning to drive safely, to cross the road etc.)
• Social: Escorting, support, control, security, mediation, etc. (e.g.
escorts on the outings, advocacy, guardianship, mediation in the
workplace, family, creating the tampon zones with presence, helping
in orientation, with the bureaucratic errands, enabling to be involved
in activities – e.g. cooking a dinner, attending the meeting
• Environment (technical and social – safety railings, tolerant
atmosphere in family, neighbourhood, adaptation of the work post
etc.)
Point of intervening
• Preventing the risk (deciding not to drink,
not to drive a car in order not to have a
crash, not getting attached to someobdy in
order not to feel loss or rejected
• Reducing potential harm (motoring hlemet,
protection pads, telling people where we
are, reportning, having important telephone
numbers, explaining the behaviour to those
present e.g. “he does not hear well”, when
drunk not losing dignity and friends
• Mending
harm
(e.g.
appologies,
explanations,
insurance,
repayment,
guarantees etc.)
