Purpose

2.    This policy seeks to demonstrate how the assessment and support planning processes and Face tools should be practiced and used to promote a positive approach to risk management that ensures the requirements of health and safety legislation, care standards and Safeguarding Adults policies are not compromised. Finding positive ways to manage risks will support our approach to prevention, early intervention and self-directed care. As a Health and Social Care provider we need to proactively collaborate with people and their carers to empower them to make choices, while supporting them to take informed everyday risks.
