*Refer to key

Key for level of risk (state how often e.g. 2x weekly, 5x daily):

Likely – will occur daily

Probable – will occur weekly

Possible – will occur monthly

Improbable – will occur yearly

Key for consequences:

Minor - person able to manage own behaviour with minimal staff/carer input. Largely self-managed. Able to be managed in situ or time out areas and is unlikely to be a threat to self or others.

Moderate – behaviour will need staff/carer input on a 1:1 basis to diffuse the situation. Distraction techniques will work the majority of time and can not be self managed.

No need for restraint or physical intervention.

Severe – behaviour management will need 1:1 or more.

Staff/carer will need to be trained to handle aggression or difficult behaviour.

It is very likely to result in physical harm to person, carer/staff, public, siblings or property.

It is very likely to result in restraint if no other techniques are able to work.

Person will need to be removed from situation.

It is likely to result in a fatality or serious injury.

Risk may be wholly unacceptable and should be avoided.
