Unit 3 – Health, Safety & Security in Health & Social Care
P3 – Carry out a risk assessment in a health and social care setting
I will be carrying out a risk assessment to ensure it is safe for a child aged 7 with down syndrome to be taken to a outdoor local playpark by a careworker for a bit of fun. The young person may be vulnerable as they are only 7 years of age and have Down syndrome which can affect their sense of awareness.
The purpose of a risk assessment is to review the potential harm that could be caused and evaluate the likelihood of harm occurring.
Hazard, task or activity with potential to cause harm
Type of injury that could occur
