The Challenging Behaviour Risk Assessment is a critical document used in South African healthcare and social service settings to evaluate and manage behavioral risks effectively. This assessment becomes necessary when individuals present behaviors that could pose risks to themselves or others, requiring structured evaluation and intervention planning. The document incorporates requirements from the Mental Health Care Act 17 of 2002, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and other relevant South African legislation. It provides a systematic approach to identifying risk factors, documenting behavioral patterns, and establishing appropriate intervention strategies. The assessment is designed to be used by qualified healthcare professionals and includes specific provisions for different settings such as healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and residential care facilities. It serves as both a risk management tool and a legal document, ensuring that all assessments and interventions are properly documented and comply with South African legal and regulatory requirements.
