Hi, this is so that you're
able to promote a culture where needs and risks are balanced with health and safety practice in settings.
in short helping others understand the balance between risk & rights empowers them to the point where decision making, choices, independence and self regulation or governance can happen without the imperative need for others intervention. One way this improves practice is by mitigating the risk of unnecessary confrontation, defensiveness & conflict which all assists a setting's efforts with risk assessment, another is that by having a working environment that promotes the balance between positive or negative risk and an individual's rights it enables opportunities for beneficial discussion and effective information sharing.
