Competent Professional Standards

Structured Competency Framework

Competence and integrity are essential to effective risk management. A clearly defined competency framework supports continuous development, helping individuals stay current and grow the skills needed to manage risk with confidence.

Developed by the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) alongside subject matter experts, our framework identifies the key skills, behaviours, and standards that define risk management excellence. It can be applied across the organisation or tailored to specific roles to align with strategic goals.
