The coroner's concerns
1. subjective risk assessment leading to missed risk increases
“The Risk Assessment tool currently in use relies on an individual practitioner's subjective assessment and description of risk factors. The tool does not provide a means of objectively rating risk factors and means that less experienced practitioners may fail to recognise or identify an increase in risk.”
