Summary of stated purpose
The aim of the Risk Management Calculator is to provide a tool for use when creating OERs, to be used as part of a wider Risk Assessment process. It can be used for text base, art and still image, audio base, moving image and broadcast works and can be used to help understand factors that might determine specific levels of risk.
Output types
Qualitative
The calculator provides an Indicative Risk Value from low (1) to high (5) for different types of works depending on whether these include clinical content/images of identifiable individuals/children for which rights have not been cleared; type of licence anticipated if any; nature of knowledge of creator; nature of contact with rights owner.
