Assessing and managing risk
As part of our individual care packages, we identify any risks associated with people’s conditions and complexities, such as behaviours of concern, falls and choking.
We take actions to reduce them in the least restrictive way.
Our approach to risk management ensures that people can enjoy their lives safely and are protected from harm.
We put people at the centre of risk assessment and management. We support people to take positive, well-calculated and managed risks to help them retain their independence as much as possible.
We upskill our colleagues so they have the knowledge and skills to be able to quickly respond to the needs of the people we support and reduce the risk of harm.
Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope (PATH)
PATH is a tool that helps people to work out the actions that need to be taken to make their goals and dreams happen.
Through person-centred planning meetings, we support people to develop an achievable and realistic goal for the future based on ‘the dream’ and create a step-by-step path to achieving it.
We use a range of activities to:
explore the person’s dreams
imagine the possible achievements over the next few years
compare the goal to how life us now
identify who can help the person achieve their goal and what strengths they need to build on e.g. what skills they need to develop
plan the steps needed to achieve the goal, both short and long term.
