- Risk management involves weighing up the risks of an activity or decision against the benefits it may bring
- This process should be performed in collaboration with individuals to support them to make informed choices
- Risk management should be positive and individuals should not be dissuaded from taking risks as that takes away their right to choice
- Instead, you should support them to understand the risks and minimise them as much as possible
