Understand ways how to reduce the likelihood of abuse We have to encourage more people to speak up if they feel abuse is taking or has taken place and this will reduce the likelihood of abuse taking place or repeating. The likelihood of abuse can be reduced by: * Working with person-centred values - include the individuality of the person, the rights of the individual, the individual’s choice, the individual’s privacy, the individual’s independence, the individual’s dignity and the individual being respected.

If a service user makes a decision that could pose a risk to them, we cannot physically stop them from doing so, we can advise against it but ultimately they have the
As people get older they lose independence, they become less mobile and aren’t able to do everything for themselves any more. It is important to ensure that they keep as active as they can to ensure they keep their independence for longer. Carers can help this process by offering activities that are enjoyable, safe and have minimal risks. This is important because it helps people enjoy the things that they are able to do, rather than offering them something they will struggle to do with the possibility of injuring themselves.
