This is a very interesting blog about the importance of  a person-centered approach to risk and different ways to help people to embed a new way of working.   The author has us think about two main questions: What risks have you taken today? and How is this relevant to care and support?  She makes a point that the only way of completely removing the element of risk is to completely stop doing the task--ever again.

She then ties  this concept into what happens in care and support environments in order to keep people safe and well.  The author suggests many times, we lose sight of the balance between what's important FOR a person and what is important TO them.  The power of choice is a huge factor--it can make a difference  to a person's happiness and wellbeing.
