Implementation

15.    Positive risk management is integral to embedding personalisation into the way we provide social care. It is important that staff receive training in support planning and risk assessment if we are to achieve this. People who need support and their carers need to have access to information so that they can be actively involved in the assessment and support planning process, including risk management as a route to increasing choice and control for them.  

This policy will be issued with practice guidance and should be included for discussion at every team meeting. Teams will be required to confirm they have done this.
