June 2007 saw the publication of the Working With Risk Trainers Manual and Practitioner Manual through Pavilion Publishing. The Trainers Manual provides a flexible two-day training programme, with the option of using any of the individual sessions as stand-alone training resources. The Practitioner Manual provides a set of practice-based risk tools with supporting guidance on how and when to use each. These materials also aim to discuss some of the wider risk issues and identify a key part of current research and literature. The practice-based tools are also supported by completed case examples.

    As Steve surveyed the audience he realised he had overestimated the size of venue needed for his presentation. Over the years the focus on team developments has focused on a range of initiatives & protocols, as outlined below. The favoured approach is to engage practitioners in the ideas and development from the start, thus gaining more of their ownership of what emerges.
