This document, from the Scottish Government, sets out a consistent, shared framework that promotes defensible decision-making, ethical risk assessment and management that is proportionate to risk, legitimate to role, appropriate for the task in hand, and is communicated meaningfully as outlined in FRAME (2011) and the NRF (2012) and replaces the previous FRAME for under 18s (2014).

The guidance outlines standards that underpin risk practice as applied to work with children and consists of:

• Framework for Risk Assessment Management and Evaluation (FRAME) for children aged 12-17
• Operational requirements for implementing Care and Risk Management (CARM) Framework
