ing risk

Completely dependent on
the individual characteristics

rience) and opinion of the as-

perceived as less reliable and
less accurate than structured
risk assessments

of tools
No constraints or guidelines are
involved in carrying out the assess-
ment
Can be carried out by profession-
als across sectors

ed by the professionals qualica-
