Managing Risks

How to assess the risks when embarking on change

If you’re embarking on a significant change in your life, it’s usually important to assess the risks first and decide how you’re going to deal with them. 

Create a plan, using the Managing Risks Table below, specify the situation you’re in or the change you are thinking of embarking on which may involve risks. 

Set out proposals for preventing and/or addressing each risk involved for your situation, or change you’re thinking of embarking on. 

If you find it hard to create the Plan immediately, then brainstorm a list of possible options first, analyse the pros and cons of each and select which options you consider most appropriate for inclusion in your plan.
