Dealing with challenges and maintaining ethical practice
In dealing with challenges and maintaining ethical practice, what are the limits of our duty of care? How should we improve the lives of the people we support and keep them safe? Many of us are driven to protect the people we support – but what would your life be like if you never took any risks? How would you learn if you were stopped before you made your next mistake?

– The relationship between duty of care and dignity of risk (01:12)
– How dignity of risk is defined (03:52)
– The difference between harmful risk and positive risk (05:45)
– How to support the person to take risks (08:40)
– Duty of Care (09:16)
