## Overview

Draft and validate **Risk Management** reports for state-insured entities (hospitals, prisons, delegated state authorities) in Ireland under the **State Claims Agency (SCA)** / NTMA. The skill ensures expected sections (executive summary, scope, incidents/trends, mitigation, compliance), tags **Protected Disclosure** and **Legal Professional Privilege (LPP)** content for appropriate handling, and aligns with statutory incident reporting via **NIMS**. For incident-only reports intended for NIMS upload, use the **nims_report_standardizer** skill to format; this skill focuses on full Risk Management reports.

## Example

> **You:** We need a quarterly Risk Management report for our hospital for the board. This quarter we had 14 slips, trips and falls, 3 clinical incidents, and 2 property-damage incidents. All are already in NIMS.
>
> **Agent:** I’ll draft from the template using those figures and align with NIMS. *(Produces a full report with executive summary, scope, incident summary table, trends, claims exposure placeholder, mitigation actions, and compliance/next steps.)* I’ve run **validate_risk_report** on the draft — all five expected sections are present.
>
> **You:** Our “Claims exposure” section mentions that we sought legal advice on one potential claim. Can you check for anything that should be tagged as privileged?
>
> **Agent:** *(Runs **tag_legal_privilege** on the report.)* It flagged the “Claims exposure” section because it refers to legal advice. I’ve added a note in that section: *“This paragraph is subject to Legal Professional Privilege (LPP); restrict distribution accordingly.”* You may want to redact or limit that paragraph before wider circulation.

## Excerpt of a generated document

The agent produces Risk Management reports from the skill template and SCA references. Below is a condensed excerpt: incident summary table and part of risk mitigation.

**Incident summary and mitigation (excerpt):**

```markdown
## 3. Incidents and trends

### 3.1 Incident summary

| Category / type        | Count | Notes                          |
|------------------------|-------|--------------------------------|
| Slips, trips, falls    | 14    | Mostly wards and corridors     |
| Clinical               | 3     | Two medication; one procedure  |
| Property damage        | 2     | Equipment and building          |

### 3.2 Trends and lessons learned

Slips and trips remain the largest category. We have scheduled refresher training and completed a corridor signage review. Clinical incidents are under internal review; findings will feed into the next quarter’s mitigation.

## 5. Risk mitigation

- Refresher training on slips/trips/falls (Q2).
- Medication safety checklist rolled out in two wards; full rollout by end Q2.
- All incidents reported to the State Claims Agency via NIMS in line with statutory requirements.
```

## Extension tools and validations

The skill includes two tools that run over the report file:

### validate_risk_report

Checks that the report contains the five expected SCA-style sections:

| Section                 | What is checked                                                                 |
|-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Executive summary       | Presence of executive summary, summary overview, or brief overview wording      |
| Scope / context         | Scope/context heading or entity, indemnity scheme, reporting period              |
| Incidents and trends    | Incidents and trends, incident summary, or lessons learned                       |
| Risk mitigation         | Risk mitigation, mitigation actions, or actions taken/planned                   |
| Compliance / next steps | Compliance/next steps, incident reporting to SCA, or NIMS                       |

For each section the tool reports **[OK]** or **[MISSING]**. The overall result is *All expected sections are present* or *One or more expected sections missing* with a list of gaps. Use after drafting or editing so the report is complete before submission.

### tag_legal_privilege

Scans the report by section (split by `##` / `###` headings) and flags content that may be **Protected Disclosure** (Protected Disclosures Act 2014) or **Legal Professional Privilege (LPP)**:

- **Protected Disclosure:** Looks for phrases such as *protected disclosure*, *whistleblow*, *prescribed person*, *relevant wrongdoing*, *disclosure to legal adviser*, and similar.
- **LPP:** Looks for *legal professional privilege*, *LPP*, *privileged*, *legal advice*, *advice from our lawyers/solicitors/counsel*, *solicitor-client*, *without prejudice*, *litigation privilege*, and similar.

For each flagged section the tool outputs the heading, the tag (Protected Disclosure or Legal Professional Privilege), and a short content snippet. No text is modified; the output is a list to review so the entity can mark or restrict those sections per policy (e.g. redaction or limited distribution).
