What should be included in a comprehensive risk management plan?

A comprehensive risk management plan must include an analysis of past incidents to effectively identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks. This analysis allows for the understanding of what has occurred in the past, which can inform future strategies and help prevent similar incidents from reoccurring. By evaluating past incidents, a DSP can identify patterns or root causes that could lead to risks in the future.

Incorporating such analysis into the plan enables proactive measures to safeguard individuals and staff, fostering a safer environment. It also helps in refining policies and enhancing training protocols based on lessons learned from previous experiences. This data-driven approach is essential in effective risk management, ensuring all potential vulnerabilities are addressed comprehensively.

On the other hand, relying solely on staff feedback, individual preferences, or imposing strict limitations would not provide a holistic view of risks and may not consider the broader context needed for effective prevention and management strategies.
