Overview
Risk knowledge is the foundation of resilience practice. But risk is shaped by the contexts we live and work in — and its consequences can ripple across services, sectors, and communities in complex and connected ways. To prepare effectively, we need to understand the context, anticipate emerging hazards and threats, and assess potential interdependent impacts.
During this course, you’ll build confidence in applying national guidance — including the Cabinet Office’s Local Risk Management process and the National Risk Register — to assess risks and consequences in real-world settings. Through case studies, discussion, and collaborative activities, you’ll examine how to analyse concurrent and cascading events, interpret risk likelihoods and severity, and develop scenarios and consequence profiles. You’ll also explore how to work with partners and stakeholders to produce risk assessments that are joined-up, grounded in evidence, and ready to inform decisions — even when uncertainty or data limitations are present.
Whether you’re new to risk or refreshing your understanding, this course will help you generate risk insight that supports prevention activities, guides capability development, and strengthens consequence management across systems and sectors.
