Managing risks to the public
These documents provide guidance for developing and assessing proposals that affect the risks of harm to the public. They supplement the Treasury guidance “Appraisal and Evaluation in Central Government” (the Green Book) which is designed to help policy makers address certain risks that the public faces, and also its perception of risk.
The documents are available in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer you can download the software free of charge from the Adobe website .
