The approach provides:
A set of key principles that we aspire to use.
An overarching comprehensive framework for conversation, risk assessment, thinking and analysis.
Practices to support working WITH people and others who are important to them.
With the aim to:
Realise and acknowledge that peoples lived experiences play a part in how they respond, engage and function.
