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.

33. RISK: STATEMENT OF INTENT
The 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.

“A coach is someone who can give correction
without causing resentment.”
