Audience

This one day session is designed for Social Care practitioners working directly with adults.

Aim

Understand how to work effectively and positively with risk in the context of strengths-based working. During this workshop, participants will explore the core professional skills to make confident and defensible decisions about risk and relate this to safeguarding practices.

Participants will recognise and challenge the importance of legal literacy in relation to working with risk and how case law can inform risk enablement in practice. They will also explore how diversity, intersectionality and power can impact risk and how to create a positive risk culture.

Learning Outcomes

Make links between working with risk and person-centred practice.
