Arguably, such technologies are in danger of yielding information that is not ‘fit for purpose’ and the same could be said about the (over-) reliance upon formalised and actuarially based risk assessment tools (RATs) whether these be paper or electronically based. The issue here is one that brings to mind the notion of what Duncker (1945) identifies as ‘functional fixedness’, the propensity of people to see an object (in this example, a particular (risk) assessment format) in its original form that prevents them from adapting its function to suit novel circumstances.
What is crucial to your understanding of risk is that it is ever-present and guarantees can never be given that it has been or can be eliminated entirely; it can be reduced and it can be managed. Theoretically, it could be eliminated, but as the discussion around sources of error and bias above highlighted, in this respect we can never be certain. Professional practice therefore must engage with risk in a dynamic way and practitioners have to be supported in their assessments and judgements around these difficult areas and, where it is appropriate, take calculated risks to enhance well-being.
