#OTalk 23rd July 2013 – Risk Enablement.

On the 30th April 2013, we had a chat about Working Creatively with Risk.

The pre-chat post can be found here: Working Creatively with Risk.

During the chat we shared resources, including guidelines and models.

The chat was very busy and and we did not get to explore experiences so we set 23rd July aside to explore experiences and share how we can enable risk within our work. The full transcript can be found here: Grabchat Working Creatively with Risk.

Here is a quick reminder as a way to trigger some thoughts for your sharing on Tuesday.

@Helen_otuk Yes please – and consideration from people on how we can 'teach' positive risk enablement maybe? #otalk

Some points to ponder as you draft a case study…

SCIE – Risk enablement should become a core part of placing people at the centre of their own care and support. 1/2 #OTalk

#OTalk 2/2 It cannot be a ‘bolt-on’ solution to traditional adult social care systems which are not person-centred.

I feel this tweet aids in highlighting the need to be aware of what is driving your risk culture.

#otalk the medical model is all about risk management but in doing this we remove much of a persons human experience from life

Are you risk managing or risk enabling?

Please be mindful of confidentiality etc, but hope we can explore some interesting aspects of risk and how we are creative. #OTalk

A good question to consider

Definitely a theme here around positive risk taking. What does this look like? What are the barriers? #OTalk

Also do we have a culture within a culture?

@charl885 Yes Charlotte that 'fear' word was something I wanted to explore too… do we have a 'fear' culture? #OTalk

Please be mindful of confidentiality and we look forward to sharing some examples of how we should and can enable risk within our practice.
