Risk management means making sure a person you support doesn't take any chances.

Risk management involves recognizing that taking chances is an inherent part of life and can lead to growth and personal development. It is not about eliminating all risks, as this could prevent individuals from experiencing new opportunities and reducing their quality of life. Instead, effective risk management is about identifying potential risks and implementing strategies to minimize harm while still allowing for autonomy and personal choice. This process ensures that the person you support can participate in activities that might involve some level of risk, while still prioritizing their safety and well-being. Encouraging informed decision-making and managing risks thoughtfully fosters independence and confidence in those you are supporting.
