Hi everyone how do you rate your risk assessments?
1-5 or High, Medium, Low and what do you base it on?
E.g high being risk of death?

I don't rate RAs... I just write -
Written by - me
Date - written date
Who is at risk - baby, child, adult, visitor etc
hazard - what might go wrong
risk - of fall, burning, ingestion etc
Control - what I have in place to protect the person at risk
Signed - by me
Review date -

I don't rate RA's either - I don't think we need to do this!
My RA headings are similar to Sarah's.

I have never rated a Risk Assessment. Will let you know when Ofsted visit if they tell me off for not doing it!
I don't rate risk assessments either
In my opinion what does if prove? how does it keep children safe? How can you possibilbly rate every risk, for every childunder every circumstance/
Take for example stairs
So do you need a star gate? Is it a high / med / low risk?
Well will depernd oin layout of house where children play / sleep / toilet
And the answer will be either yes need one or no don't need one.
Lets assume you do need one
Do you need to ensure in use at all times? Again high/low / med risk?
This will depend on the children attending on that day - and will change as they develop
So for crawling baby - high risk, pre school child low risk, 7 yr old with additional needs med risk and so on
So unless you rate each risk each day - they stand the risk of actually being ineffective and possibly giving the wrong information (which if used by someone who does not know the children - could be a risk in itself.
However only my opinion - and I am sure those of you who do rate risk assessments - have good reasons for doing so - as assume you would not do so unless of some benefit to you?

I don't rate risk assessments either and was giving outstanding for keeping children safe.

I don't rate my risk assessments, I just do them like Sarah.
I do know how to do the rating system, I just don't really see the point for a domestic setting.
