What is THRIVE+ in WMP?

1. THRIVE+ is a new way of working for WMP and is designed so we all assess risk in a consistent way

2. It professionalises our approach to public need and risk management

3. THRIVE + identifies the key considerations for evaluating any given situation, these being but not limited to, Threat, Harm, Risk, Investigation, Vulnerability, Engagement and Prevention and Intervention

THRIVE+ Considerations

an informed decision

• Your THRIVE+ assessment can be made in a matter of seconds

information are captured

decision making process, and how the outcome was reached
