Risks
What workers need to watch for before a shift, rated and with a management plan.
Last updated · 25 June 2026
The Risks tab records risks relevant to a participant’s support, so your workers know what to watch for and how each one is managed.
When you add a risk:
- Risk (required), the safety, support-delivery or safeguarding risk.
- Rating, one of Low, Medium, High or Critical. You can change it inline from the list.
- Notes (optional), the control measures and how the risk is managed.
- Close date (optional), when the risk is reviewed or closed.
The list also shows the opened date. Add a risk for anything a worker should be aware of before a shift, for example behaviours of concern, a health condition, or an environmental hazard. Risks travel with the participant, so everyone supporting them works from the same picture.
