Risk aware vs risk averse This session will look into the dilemma between the rights/freedom of a person and our duty to protect. For many people risk is an accepted part of life. However, disabled adults, older people and young people are often discouraged from taking risks. Finding the balance between risk and protection is vital if people are to be empowered to become/stay independent and live fulfilling and rewarding lives.
This exciting session has been planned in collaboration between the Chief Social Workers office, DHSC and BASW England. We will welcome a number of speakers who will explore how racial inequalities shape access to, experiences of and outcomes from services.
