Working with Risk

Hazel Kemshall, Bernadette Wilkinson and Kerry Baker - Personal Name;

Risk assessment and management are core issues in social work across a range of settings and contexts. Responding to the risks posed by others, reducing risks to vulnerable persons and managing risks to themselves are all in a day’s work for busy practitioners. Managers and practitioners are routinely confronted with risk decisions, and such decisions are often central to the allocation of resources or the choice of interventions (Kemshall 2002a). Risk is a complex practice issue, and there are different views on the nature of risk, and how to assess and manage it effectively. This chapter will explore the nature of risk, the historical roots of risk as a concept and how it is best understood for those working in social work.
