The course will focus on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to implement systems and processes in their organisation that meet the requirements of the Community Care Common Standards - Standard One (1.6 Risk Management).
This course follows on from Continuous Improvement: An Introduction. Time will be set aside at the start of this course to discuss issues service providers may have in the implementation of Continuous Improvement systems and processes.
Target Audience

Prerequisites
There are no specific prerequisites, however, participants are recommended to attend Continuous Improvement: An Introduction, before registering for this course, as the systems and processes in both areas can be linked.
