A key element of the notion of caring is the impetus to protect from harm. Harm is taken to include not only physical harm but also harm to the intangible elements to cultural heritage, including the association that might exist between an object, place or person. This chapter analyses how the UK law and non-law initiatives translate the concept of caring for heritage into duties on communities to protect cultural heritage from harm, or to respond to the risk of harm. This includes precautionary care, where policies and procedures are put in case, just in case they are needed in the event of war or conflict. Preventative care involves being alert to future potential risks and seeking to guard against these by prohibiting certain harmful activities (or at least subjecting them to scrutiny). The chapter also considers reactive care, where efforts are made in response to an actual or imminent risk of harm. It is recognised that often harm cannot be entirely averted and so the terminology of navigating harm is used. For that reason, where harm is inevitable, measures need to be in place to mitigate the effects of harm and these are considered.
