Abuse Risk Assessment

Abuse Risk Assessment is a process used to evaluate the likelihood that someone might harm or neglect vulnerable individuals, such as children, older adults, or persons with disabilities. It involves reviewing personal history, behaviors, and environmental factors to identify potential risks. The goal is to prevent abuse by understanding warning signs and implementing strategies or interventions to ensure safety. This assessment helps professionals make informed decisions about supervision, support, or necessary protections to reduce harm and promote well-being.
