Risk Management

Since the introduction of the Standards Check in 2014, the Risk Management section seems to have caused most concern for ADIs. When we are teaching on-the-move, risky situations develop around us which require our attention if we are to defuse the situation.

In the days of the Check Test, ADIs were assessed on the core competencies of faults identification, analysis and correction. Fundamentally, nothing has changed. Involving pupils at each stage of a faults discussion is really important.

Encouraging our pupil’s to take responsibility for their actions and actively participate in how they correct driving errors are more likely to lead to an improved understanding of driving situations.
