Sensible risk management

Section 18 Standard toolkit - Element 10

The Section 18 Standard requires every enforcing authority (EA) to promote the principles of sensible risk management. Among other things, EAs can do this by signing up to and promoting the sensible risk agenda, balancing risks and benefits: 'saving lives not stopping them'.

Further details are contained in the S18 toolkit.
