FACE Toolsets

Risk Assessment & Management

The FACE Risk Toolset facilitates high quality and evidence-based assessment of risk within clinical settings - including integrated risk management.

The FACE Risk Assessment and Management toolset solves many day-to-day challenges of clinical risk assessment and management as it's tried and tested, independently validated, and designed specifically for use in the UK.

It provides reassurance to senior managers, staff and service users as it's evidence-based, always up-to-date, and already used by many healthcare professionals and independent care providers across the country.
