Respecting your choices

Respecting your choices and supporting you to stay safe

Choice and risk taking are part of everyday life; we want to support you to do the things you enjoy doing even when they involve risk.

• We will promote choice and control and support you to identify/balance risks to both your physical and emotional well-being and how to manage these as safely as possible.
• We will listen to any worries you have and have open and honest conversations with you about anything we are worried about.
• We recognise that everyone has ups and downs and we will help you identify who might be able to support when things do not go to plan. We will help you make contingency plans should your usual support networks become unavailable or unable to get to you (for example in bad weather).
