Risk Assessment

Effective risk assessment is a cornerstone of safeguarding and organisational safety.

Petros provides expert guidance and tools to help organisations identify, evaluate and manage risks in a structured and proactive way.

We support organisations to develop risk assessment frameworks that are thorough but practical, integrating legal requirements and best practice. Our approach emphasises ongoing review and adaptation as circumstances change.

Our services include training in risk assessment principles, facilitation of risk workshops, and tailored tools for specific sectors such as faith-based organisations, residential settings and critical occupations.

Good risk assessment empowers organisations to protect individuals, maintain compliance, and build confidence among staff and stakeholders. It’s a vital part of creating safer, more resilient environments.

 

 

Risk assessment involves recognising potential hazards, analysing their likelihood and impact, and deciding on appropriate mitigation strategies. It requires a clear understanding of context, people involved, and organisational capacity.
