The Wales Applied Risk Research Network (WARRN) is a
network whose aims are to:
● Improve training, dissemination and
communication of research and evidence-based practice in
risk assessment and risk management
● Improve standards of risk assessment and risk
management across all sectors and disciplines in Wales
● Conduct and support primary and translational research
on areas relevant to risk assessment and risk management
and to improve the evidence-base in this area.
WARRN is the Wales Applied Risk Research Network:
clinical risk assessment and risk management training
and consultancy. WARRN recognises the central role of
dissemination and training to produce effective clinical
practice, which spans professional boundaries and
considers local and national policy initiatives.
A major role of the network relates to the dissemination
of what works, with whom, and in what context, and in
disseminating training that is known to be
evidence-based. WARRN has focussed its efforts on the
tripartite role of:
1. Consultancy with services. Different services meet
the needs of different patient populations and have
different methods of service delivery and we have
endeavoured to liaise closely with services to try to
meet the needs of these different service models.
WARRNs consultancy role is offered free of charge.
2. The writing and delivery of evidence-based training
on topics of key relevance to clinical risk assessment
and risk management; and
3. Conducting and publishing high quality research where
gaps exist in the evidence-base.
The strategy for Adult Mental Health Services in Wales,
recommends Every user in contact with mental health
services should have a structured assessment of risk
written in their case-records. and The
assessment of risk and ensuring the safety of users,
carers and staff could be increased by training mental
health professionals in risk assessment and risk
management and by ensuring that risk
assessment is multi-disciplinary and co-ordinated across
settings.
