By identifying the most important risk factors to children and young people in childrelated regulated service environments, BCS can make an informed decision about which compliance activities to prioritise.

Knowledge of issues and associated risks is established by collecting and analysing data from a range of sources including:

• feedback and issues raised by the community
• results from industry monitoring
• internally identified breaches resulting from business activities
• information from internal and external environmental scanning performed by BCS;
• trends in non-compliance, and
• information from other sources such as QPS and a range of other government
  departments

These information sources will also be used to assess the effectiveness of services provided and improve future education, media and compliance activities. This informed approach will ensure that BCS can focus resources on areas that are identified as the most significant risks to children and young people.
