1. The provider should support people to remain independent in their daily lives. To do this, the provider should at a minimum: a) develop an enablement approach to how people are supported to retain or further develop their skills and abilities b) ensure people and their representatives are involved in positive risk assessment c) promote well-informed and balanced decisions about risk d) ensure risk assessments and personal plans are person-centred and reflect changes in people’s support needs. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: "My care and support meets my needs and is right for me" (HSCS 1.19) and "My views will always be sought and my choices respected, including when I have reduced capacity to fully make my own decisions" (HSCS 2.11).
