📍 Course Overview
This Risk Assessment Training is an evidence-informed, online course designed for Behaviour Support Practitioners, clinicians, and disability sector professionals seeking to strengthen ethical, person-centred approaches to assessing and managing risk. Grounded in human rights principles, dignity of risk, and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), the training supports best-practice clinical decision-making in disability and behavioural support contexts.
At Billy Cart Behaviour, our approach to risk assessment emphasises autonomy, quality of life, and positive risk-taking alongside safeguarding responsibilities. This course supports practitioners to move beyond risk avoidance and toward proportionate, rights-based practice that promotes participation, independence, and informed choice.
About This Training
The BCB Risk Assessment Training equips Behaviour Support Practitioners with the knowledge, frameworks, and practical tools required to complete person-centred clinical risk assessments that align with contemporary disability practice standards.
Participants develop the skills to balance duty of care with autonomy and decision-making, ensuring risk is considered thoughtfully rather than used as a barrier to opportunity. This training supports risk assessment practice within NDIS behaviour support, disability services, and multidisciplinary clinical teams.
Key Learning Areas in Clinical Risk Practice
Throughout this course, participants will explore:
- How to understand and define risk using structured, evidence-informed frameworks that support clear and meaningful decision-making
- Person-centred approaches to assessing risk that recognise individual voice, goals, strengths, and lived context
- The relationship between duty of care and dignity of risk, including how to safeguard without unnecessarily restricting freedom or opportunity, in line with the UNCRPD
- Risk enablement and positive risk-taking, shifting from risk elimination toward supported decision-making and capability building
- Integration with Positive Behaviour Support, recognising how behaviours of concern often reflect unmet needs or restrictive environments
- Practical tools and structured templates that support ethical, collaborative risk planning and documentation
- Proportionate risk management strategies that support growth, empowerment, and self-determination
