Person Centred Risk
Every opportunity contains risks – a life without risk is a life without opportunities, often without quality and without change.
Traditional methods of risk assessment are full of charts and
scoring systems, but the person, their objectives, dreams and life
seem to get lost somewhere in the pages of tick boxes and
statistics.
A person centred approach seeks to focus on people's rights to
have the lifestyle that they chose, including the right to make
'bad' decisions. The approach described here uses person
centred thinking tools, to help people and those who care about
them most think in a positive and productive way about how to
ensure that they can achieve the changes they want to see while
keeping the issue of risk in its place.
This in essence is a process to gather, in partnership with the
person, the fullest information and evidence to demonstrate that we
have thought deeply about all the issues involved. Decisions
are then guided by what is important to the person, what is needed
to keep them healthy and safe and on what the law says.
