Professional Risk and Working with People provides advice on assessing and managing risks for all those employed to take risks with or on behalf of other people.The authors explore issues of risk assessment and management that provides readers with a broad knowledge of risk practices that can be applied across a range of disciplines. They detail the benefits of risk as well as the potential harm and explain relevant legislation and concepts of negligence in clear and accessible language. Examples of risk policies, systems and effective judgement in managing complex risk decisions are also included.In the current climate of blame and readiness to pursue legal action against professionals, this book will prove essential reading for all practitioners who come into contact with risk, including doctors and other health and care professionals, probation officers and social workers. Leaders of professional courses and their students will also find this an invaluable guide.

The style of writing and presentation of complex concepts is a useful model for analysing, monitoring and evaluating any organisation which provides a public service. There are very useful sections on an appendix of shared vocabulary, references, subject index, author index and an index of case law examples used. I would recommend the book for managers of organisations engaged in public service. It may also be useful for anyone involved in working in child protection and requiring a CRB check for their work and also EPs engaged in specialist work such as expert witness, CAMHs and YOT.
