This module aims to provide participants with a critical awareness of the importance of as well as the strengths and limitations of risk assessment and how that feeds into productive risk management in a variety of work roles.
You will need to complete an induction prior to commencement of your first module. We have a comprehensive online induction package to welcome you to both the University and your programme of study. Alternatively classroom-based induction days take place at our Lancaster and Carlisle campuses and are usually scheduled for the first week of each semester.
The running of this module is dependent on there being sufficient numbers of interest.
