Decision Making

The team discusses if this is a team or an Executive Staff Decision. Team

decisions involve discussions building on and generating new ideas until

the best decision emerges. Individuals can agree to disagree by

acknowledging that they have unresolved concerns, but consent to the

proposal anyway and allow it to be adopted. Team members agree to

speak positively about the decision and take ownership for it outside the

meeting (e.g. we decided, not they decided) and do whatever is required to

make the decision to work.

RISK: STATEMENT OF INTENTThe people supported by LiveWorkPlay tell us that they want to be involved in the community, access opportunities, and to achieve their goals like everyone else in society.

With an ordinary life comes risk, and sometimes accidents may happen. The people we support, as with most people, will not always choose to live in a totally healthy and safe way. We will support people to manage the risks involved in exercising control over their own lives, through offering advice and guidance.

In managing risk, we will take sensible precautions to reduce the risk of harm to staff, the people we support and anyone else who may be affected by our work. Those precautions will effectively balance what is important to the people we support with what is important for the people we support.

Risk assessments will not be used to curtail or ban activity. Sensible risk management is not about generating useless paperwork mountains. Risk assessments should address real risk, in other words risk which actually exists. Written assessments should contain information essential for maintaining safety.

As part of our commitment to enabling people we support to take planned risks, LiveWorkPlay as an employer will always support staff who have used sound judgement and taken sensible precautions, even if these have not been sufficient to avert an incident.
