This document discusses risk management, risk regulation, and blame culture in social work. It provides examples of approaches to risk management for released offenders such as improved communication, standardized risk assessment procedures, and local resistance to housing ex-offenders. The document suggests that blame culture has increased due to declining trust in institutions combined with a societal tendency towards negativity and making claims against those in positions of power. Risk regulation aims to control risks through information gathering, standard setting, and influencing behavior.

Introduction
Communicable diseases include several emerging and re-emerging infections that are spread rapidly. They are the second leading cause of death globally, causing severe human suffering and significant economic loss. Examples of infectious diseases include TB, STDs, and malaria. Approximately 26% of deaths globally and 30% of the global burden of diseases are attributed to infectious diseases. Therefore, global collaboration development must be established based on surveillance networks. While no single agency can guarantee health safety, international agencies, government agencies, and individuals must collaborate to provide the necessary expertise. This paper aims to discuss A SWOT of government and local agencies concerning infectious and chronic diseases, issues affecting local agencies, and a teaching project that can be implemented to address the issue.
Government Bodies that Address Communicable and Chronic Diseases
CDC is a national health protection agency whose focus is to protect the American people from health and safety threats. The CDC's mission is to ensure that they protect and save lives. Therefore, the organization must perform a SWOT analysis concerning its mission. The agency's technology innovation is its core strength (Center for Disease Control, 2022). The health system technologies available within the agency ensure that disease surveillance, laboratory capacity, and operational research are conducted thoroughly, ensuring that the information that reaches that patient has been proven. The organization ...
In an increasingly global and interconnected economy, determining risk profiles is very critical.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us the need to rethink towards future risk and possibly how to mitigate or deal with such risk. To do this, the right risk culture needs to be embedded into the organization’s setting. In recent times, there has been an increase in regulatory pressure for effective risk management governance and strategy. An inspiring risk governance and strategy will never be realized without the backing of a strong risk culture. This paper discusses risk culture within an organization and rethinking risk culture in a post-pandemic era.

Figure1. The overall scenario of Risk management analysis on basis of survey and guidelines :
Safety of Risk Management
Risk management is an activity which integrates recognition of risk, risk assessment, developing strategies to manage it, and mitigation of risk using managerial resources. Some traditional risk managements are focused on risks stemming from physical or legal causes (e.g. natural disasters or fires, accidents, death).
Financial risk management, on the other hand, focuses on risks that can be managed using traded financial instruments. Objective of risk management is to reduce different risks related to a pre-selected domain to an acceptable. It may refer to numerous types of threats caused by environment, technology, humans,
organizations and politics. The paper describes the different steps in the risk management process which methods are used in the different steps, and provides some examples for risk and safety management.
The risk management steps are:
1. Establishing goals and context ,
2. Identifying risks,
3. Analysing the identified risks,
4. Assessing or evaluating the risks,
5. Treating or managing the risks,
6. Monitoring and reviewing the risks and the risk environment regularly, and
7. Continuously communicating, consulting with stakeholders and reporting.
Some of the risk management tools are described in (IEC 2008) and (Oehmen 2005).
As per discussed about the overall visualisation of safety risk management we can conclude by the stated figure about the outcome of the risk factor in different zone or field of work .
The common concept in all definitions is uncertainty of outcomes. Where they differ is in how they characterize outcomes. Some describe risk as having only adverse consequences, while others are neutral.
One description of risk is the following: risk refers to the uncertainty that surrounds future events and outcomes. It is the expression of the likelihood and impact of an event with the potential to influence the achievement of an organization's objectives.
The phrase "the expression of the likelihood and impact of an event" implies that, as a minimum, some form of quantitative or qualitative analysis is required for making decisions
concerning major risks or threats to the achievement of an organization's objectives. For each risk, two calculations are required: its likelihood or probability; and the extent of the impact or consequences.
Establish goals and context:- The purpose of this stage of planning enables to understand the environment in which the
respective organization operates, that means to thoroughly understand the external environment and the internal culture of the organization.
Identify the risks :- Using the information gained from the context, particularly as cat.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. This lecture is divided into three parts that focus on:
(a) Risk Management
(b) Risk Regulation
(c) Blame Culture
3.
4. Little Britain character Vicky Pollard
The "don't-blame-me" mentality personified by
Vicky Pollard - the Little Britain character who
refuses to accept responsibility for anything - is
becoming more prevalent, according to a new
study.
Researchers say that young people increasingly
believe that their fate is out of their hands and
that parents, schools, government or bad luck are
to blame for their misfortunes.
5. Exasperated bank manager: "Ms Pollard, despite
having no job, you've run up debts of £50,000 on two
dozen credit cards. This considerable sum has been
squandered on video games, contraband cigarettes, a
wardrobe of genuine designer fakes and three weeks of
hard drinking in Torrevieja."
6. Vicky Pollard: "Yeah, but no, but no but yeah, but...
wot 'appened was it wasn't me, it was them banks, all
their cheap plastic. Don't go giving me the evils. Lloyds
HIV made me 'ave it. NatWestlife told me I must.
Anyway, Destiny's got loads more loans than me. She
bought Posh Spice's knickers. I ain't never done nuffink.
It weren’t meh”
7.
8. risk management is concerned with collective or
institutional responses to risk situations in social
work.
Risk management is about systems, procedures and
guidelines and their operationalization in social
work agencies.
9. With the agency there is shared awareness and
understanding within the authority of: – the
nature and extent of the risks it faces; – the extent
and categories of risks regarded as acceptable (the
authority should formulate a sound policy on its
threshold to risk); – the likelihood and potential
impacts of the risks materialising; and – its ability
to reduce the incidence and impact on the
organisation of risks that do materialise; Here the
focus is on the IMPACT OF RISK
10. The social care agency ensures that there is regular
and ongoing monitoring and reporting of risk
including early warning mechanisms; Here the focus
is on the MONITORING AND REPORTING OF
RISK
11. Within the social care agency an appropriate
assessment is made of the cost of operating particular
controls relative to the benefit obtained in managing
the related risk; Here the emphasis is on a cost-
benefit analysis of managing RISK
12. The social care agency or the authority conducts, at
least annually, a review of the effectiveness of the
system of internal control in place; Here the focus is
on reviewing and annual monitoring (this
sometimes includes performance reviews)
13. The social care agency or the authority reports
publicly on the results of the review, and explains the
action it is taking to address any significant concerns
that it has identified. Here the emphasis is on
stake-holder INVOLVEMENT
14. 1. Predictive Hazards (i.e. those hazards one might
expect from any individual in similar
circumstances. Hazards such as - mental health
problems - physical frailty).
2. Specific Hazards (i.e. hazards, specific to the
individual's own situation such
3. Strengths (i.e. what is there in the situation to the
individual's advantage?).
4. Dangers (i.e. potentially undesirable results from
specific hazards).
15. We can identify a number of core components
associated with risk management in social work.
These include: Identifying risks, analysing risks,
evaluating and ranking risks, and treating risks
as part of what is called MANAGED CARE
PROGRAMMES
16. The Department of Health has been a key mover and
shaker in the development of risk management systems in
social work agencies. The Department of Health state that
“Risk management should be recognised as an
integral part of good practice and should be part of
the organization’s culture. It should be integrated
into its philosophy, practices and business plans
rather than be viewed or practiced as a separate
programme. When this is achieved, risk management
becomes the business of everyone in the
organisation.”
17. EXECUTIVE COMMAND/CONTROL
Board level responsibility for risk management is
clearly defined and there are clear lines of individual
accountability for managing risk throughout the
organisation, leading to the Board.
18. The organization’s senior management has
defined and documented its strategy for managing
risks, including objectives for, and its
commitment to, risk management. The risk
management strategy is relevant to the
organization’s strategic context and its goals,
objectives and the nature of its business.
Management ensures that the strategy is
understood, implemented and maintained at all
levels of the organisation.
19. A committee structure is in place, which supports the
risk management accountability arrangements within
the organisation and ensures that all
significant risks are properly considered and
communicated to the Board.
20. An agreed process for reporting,
managing, analysing and learning from
adverse incidents is in place, in accordance with social
care guidance.
An agreed process for reporting, managing, analysing
and learning from
complaints and claims is in place, in accordance with
NHS guidance.
21. A risk management process is embedded throughout
the organisation at all levels, including the Board,
with key indicators being used to demonstrate
performance. The whole system of risk management
is continuously monitored and reviewed by
management and the Board in order to learn and
make improvements to the system.
22. Social work is increasingly
regulated because of fears or
anxieties about risk. Risk
management systems are just one
method of regulating social work
practice.
23. Risk Regulation is defined as governmental
interference with market or social processes to
control potential adverse consequences to health
or social issues'. Risk regulation includes (1)
information gathering; (2) standard setting and
(3) behavioural change.
24. They analyse risk regulation in terms of regimes,
providing a powerful model for understanding
risk management in social work.
Analyzing regulation in terms of 'regimes'
(information gathering; standard setting and
behavioural change) allows us to see the rich,
multi-dimensional nature of risk regulation in
social work. Focusing not just on how social
workers seek to reduce risk, but how social work
itself is seen as a risky business and how social
workers have to be regulated. (GSCC code of
conduct)
25. As a good case study for understanding the regulation
of risk we can focus on paedophiles released from
custody is used. This will help us explore the
strengths and weaknesses of various approaches to
risk management and the idea of "blame culture".
26. The first being the adoption of better
communication systems (typically called for in
public inquiries such as the Victoria Climbie
Inquiry) and more collegial behaviour among the
various public sector bureaucracies involved
(social services, police, probation, psychiatry) in
the case management of released offenders. This
strategy can aid the risk management process by
increasing information flow between public
agencies and, increasingly, trusted third-sector
voluntary organizations.
27. The second response is the adoption of more
formal written procedures or checklists for risk
assessment and management of ex-offenders. The
purpose of such protocols is to improve risk
decision making, particularly in allocating scarce
resources. They also serve the important purpose
of limiting blame by forming the basis of a
procedural defense for professional practitioners if
registered offenders committed further offenses.
28. A third strategy, is the classic “not in my backyard”,
whereby local authorities refuse to provide public housing
for ex-offenders in their communities. (This strategy is
sometimes called the "silo-effect" in which public sector
authorities effectively try to pass the problem around from
one to the other, truancy offers another good example of
this) Here social services and housing organizations have
to shoulder increased burdens because a bias toward
conservative risk assessment by local police and probation
officials (seeking to protect themselves from blame in the
event of reoffense) lead to a large number of released sex
offenders.
29. So why are risk management and regulation
regimes increasingly hardened in social work?
Contemporary social care reforms have occurred
in a particular historical and social context, and
arguably one of the features of that context has
been the development of a climate of greater
suspicion and challenge for social care agencies.
Social workers repeatedly observe that they have
to "watch their back" or are constantly being held
accountable for their decisions.
30. Why has Blame Culture become so pervasive over the
past decade in social work? There are arguably two
reasons why this has occurred over the past decade in
the UK
31. Popular trust in various kinds of public sector institutions,
such as social work, has declined over the past decade,
with correspondingly growing suspicion of individuals in
positions of authority or expertise. Mary Douglas (1982)
claims that increasing egalitarian or sectarian cultural
biases in western-type societies since 1960s have created
more pressure to blame those at the top of powerful
corporations for the harm they do to the powerless.. The
power of the "service-user" might be part of this
explanation, in a world where everyone wants to make
"rights claims" even though they may often be
contradictory.
32. This claim relates to an increasing disposition to
‘negativity bias’ in society in a number of advanced
democracies. By negativity bias is meant the commonly-
observed cognitive tendency to pay more attention to
negative than to positive information and to value losses
more highly than gains of an equivalent amount. Perhaps
we can understand the post Iraq situation as based on a
politics of fear and anxiety around security and terrorism,
rather than optimism. Here there is a political tendency
for dissatisfaction to produce and shape citizens opinions
and beliefs.
Editor's Notes
So in social work, risk is the threat that an event or action will adversely affect an organisation’s ability to achieve its objectives and to successfully execute its strategies. Risk management is the process by which risks are identified, evaluated and controlled. It is a key element of the framework of social care governance together with community focus, structures and processes, standards of conduct and service delivery arrangements.
