Description: This update is only open to certified TCIS trainers. This one-day program will focus on the risk assessment process. Participants will focus on key competency areas such as assessing risk, planning to reduce risk, risk management and review, and assessing the risk of physical restraints. All participants a retested with written and competency based tests to apply for re-certification. Participants will be able to:
• Focus on the concept of reducing the risk of injury and trauma while providing meaningful experiences for children so that they may continue to grow and develop necessary life skills
• Utilize a five-step risk assessment model that care workers, supervisors, and managers can use to assess, manage, and review risk in their programs
• Explore tools that encourage individuals to consider individual, situational, decision-making, management, and system-wide risk factors which influence risk-taking and therefore positively or negatively impact the life experiences of children in their care.
