Risk enablement and safeguarding policy
At get2gether we are driven by the belief that adults should be treated as adults and that everyone has the right to live the life they want. We work in a way that acknowledges the inevitability of risk and supports and encourages our members to take life-enhancing risks and learn through experience. We recognise our role as providing opportunities in a supportive culture through which our members can gain the skills they need to manage risks for themselves.
While we use a risk enablement strategy, we also acknowledge that having a disability or
learning disability is linked to increased risk of harm and abuse. Our safeguarding guidance has been written with reference to section 4 of Tell Someone (2009), the national Adult Support and Protection implementation booklet.
For more information, please see our current policy bellow.
