Risk Processes – Tiered Approach
• Guided by SPJ Framework
• Tiers detailed in FRAME documentation
– Scan
– Examine
– Scrutinise
• Sole vs. Team Based Assessment
SPJ Framework
•
•
•
•
•
•

Evaluate presence of protective factors
Offence analysis/formulation
Scenario planning
Risk management planning

The Challenges
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Working within the mental health act
Patients with on-going impairments
Dual role of care and managing risk
Government policy and direction
Theory into practice
Organisational strategy and clinical leadership
Implementing governance systems
Theory into Practice
• Generally too much focus on the SPJ “tool” rather
than on the other parts of the risk management
process
• Teams vs. individual emphasis
• Not everyone has equal training/competences in
formulation of offending behaviour, scenario
planning, writing risk management plans
• Risk management as part of the CPA process. How to
make sure it doesn’t get lost.
Organisational Strategy
• Are senior management supportive?
• Is it part of the organisation’s strategy? Are their
associated targets set?
• Is there a structure that everyone can follow? Keep
it simple!
• Is there funding for training of staff?
• Is there a system for overseeing implementation?
• Is there a “change leader?”
Governance
• Audits (big and small/process vs. quality)
• Targets – Does everyone know what they are?
Are they being achieved?
• Training – is it working?
• Supervision
• Consequences – what happens when targets
are not achieved?
