Q
CoP 10 risk principles
A
- Willingness to make decisions in conditions of uncertainty
- Maintaining or achieving the safety and well-being of individuals and communities is the primary consideration in risk decision making.
- Maintaining or achieving the safety and well-being of individuals and communities is the primary consideration in risk decision making.
- Harm can never be totally prevented. Risk decisions should, therefore, be judged by the quality of the decision making, not by the outcome.
- Taking risk decisions, and reviewing others’ risk decisions, is difficult so account should be taken of whether they involved dilemmas or emergencies, were part of a sequence of decisions or might appropriately have been taken by other agencies.
- The standard expected and required of members of the Police is that their risk decisions should be consistent with those a body of officers of similar rank, specialism and experience would have taken in the same circumstances.
- Whether to document a decision is a risk decision it itself which should, to a large extent, be left to professional judgement. Deciding whether or not to make a record, however, and the extent of that record, should be informed by consideration of the likelihood of harm occurring and its seriousness.
- To reduce risk aversion and improve decision making, policing needs a culture that learns from successes as well as failures. Good risk-taking should be identified, celebrated and shared.
- Since good risk taking depends upon quality information, the Police Service will work with partner agencies to share relevant information about those who pose risk or those who are vulnerable to the risk of harm.
- Members of the Police Service who make decisions consistent with these principles should receive the encouragement, approval and support of their organisation.
