Embedding a Harm Centred Approach into ASB Case Management

Everything you need to confidently recognise harm and consider it when making case decisions

Have you heard the expression “harm centred approach to ASB” before, but are not quite sure what it means?

Do you sometimes feel like your decision making is led by systems and categories of behaviour, rather than how much harm is being caused to the person suffering the ASB?

Do you feel that the actions you take are not always proportionate to the severity of the problems?

Embedding a harm centred approach into our ASB casework is important to ensure that we are identify people most at risk quickly and effectively, putting clear plans in place to reduce harm.

It should weave through all stages of our casework and impact on many of the decisions we make including whether a report amounts to ASB, the level of prioritisation to give to it, the action we decide to take to stop the ASB, to name just a few.

This course is designed to provide the learner with a clear understanding of what “harm centred approach” means. It also reminds us of how important this approach is, reflecting on some of the tragic cases we have seen in recent years and how we can work to prevent these from occurring in the future. It identifies the key decisions you make in ASB case management, where harm should be considered, how to take it into account and the impact that it should have.

This course uses a mix of videos, exercises and quizzes to cover the following lessons:

1. What is a harm centred approach?

2. Why it is so important to embed into our ASB casework

3. How to most effectively embed into our ASB casework

Enrolment gives you instant access to:

A video accompanying each lesson, instructed by Janine
