What do you think about this statement?
“The emphasis must be on sensible risk
appraisal, not striving to avoid all risk,
whatever the price, but instead seeking a
proper balance and being willing to
tolerate manageable or acceptable risks
as the price appropriately to be paid in
order to achieve some other good – in
particular to achieve the vital good of the
elderly or vulnerable person’s happiness.
“
What good is it making someone safer if
it merely makes them miserable?”
“
Mae’n rhaid cadw’r pwyslais ar arfarniad
risg synhwyrol, nid ar geisio osgoi pob risg,
pa bynnag yw’r pris, ond yn hytrach, chwilio
am gydbwysedd priodol a bod yn barod i
oddef risgiau y gellir eu rheoli ac sy’n fwy
derbyniol a thalu’r pris yn briodol er mwyn
cyflawni rhywbeth da
–
yn arbennig er
mwyn cyrraedd hapusrwydd a lles y bobl
oedrannus ac agored i niwed.
“
Pa ddaioni ddaw o ddiogelu rhywun os yw
hynny’n ei wneud yn ddigalon?
”
Person-centred approach to risk
•
To make effective decisions you must make a
calculated and reasoned assessment and
analysis of the risk
•
You must use reliable evidence
•
Practitioners and the adult at risk should reach a
shared understanding of any concerns
•
You must regularly review the adult’s risk
assessments

Wales Safeguarding Procedures Person-centred approach to safeguarding
Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 Voice and control of the individual Prevention and early intervention to prevent escalation of issues Well-being of the individual, to be promoted by all persons delivering functions under the Act Co-production between individual and agencies, across agencies and sectors, co-producing services and solutions Multi agency in this case, safeguarding is everybody s business Principles of the Act apply across all parts, including part 7 Safeguarding
Key values Two key values in safeguarding practice: 1) Safeguarding is everyone s responsibility 2) A person-centred approach
1) Safeguarding is everyones responsibility Effective safeguarding relies on working together to: identify when an adult or a family member is at risk understand the adult at risk's circumstances and care and support needs prevent their needs increasing Everyone should understand their responsibility to report when they suspect an adult is at risk
2) A person-centred approach You might hear other terms for the person-centred approach, including: patient-centred care client-centred support resident-centred care person-led support
A person-centred approach focuses on the needs of the person, rather than the needs of the service
How is this approach different? Old approach attitude: weknow best process-led system-focused doing things for/to the adult at risk no clear voice of the adult at risk Person-centred approach attitude: theyknow best adult at risk led sees the adult at risk as an individual outcome-focused / strengths-based doing things with/on behalf of the adult at risk
Person-centred approach Puts the needs of the person at the centre of decision- making Ensures decision-making is based on a clear understanding of: the personal outcomes the adult wishes to achieve and what matters to the individual Engages with the adult at risk throughout the safeguarding process Enables them to determine how they manage risks
Using a person-centred approach Put the person s rights and best interests first Consider their views, wishes and feelings Promote and respect their dignity Respect their characteristics, culture and beliefs Provideappropriate support to help them participate in decisions that affect them
