I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities. I have to act in the individuals best interest, keep them safe, carry out risk assessments, promote informed choices but also respect their decision and right to live their life as they choose.

When a confidential information is shared with me and it concerns safeguarding and there is a possibility of harm or someone’s wellbeing is threathened I might have to make a decision and disclose this information.

Counselling/ counselling ideas may help to cope with the challenges of ‘change’ ‘The more I am willing to be myself in all this complexity of life […] the more I am willing to understand and accept the realities in myself and in the other person […]” Rogers (1961). In order to tackle changes in a client’s life, it is important for the counsellor themselves to be self-aware and have an understanding of others’ values, beliefs and attitudes although they may conflict with their own. The counsellor is there to help the client adapt to these changes, helping clients to push out old information and take in new- this however is also an aspect of change which the counsellor has to help the client pursue whilst keeping ethical and professional boundaries. Changes are accompanied by strong emotions, both negative and positive and counselling is able to support the transition from one state to another. When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004).
After completing a risk assessment it will enable all concerned to think about potential hazards in situations and activities and how to minimize the risks. Being able to choose what you want to do and what risks are involved and how to avoid them is being in control of your life.

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 an individual is considered to have a say in what he or she wants and is at the centre of any decision, it will be more unlikely that there is abuse. The individual will know what suits him or her and will not get so frustrated.
Ligaments help provide their stability and muscles contract to produce movement. The most common synovial joints are listed below: * Ball and socket joints, like your hip and shoulder joints, are the most mobile type of joint in the human body. They allow you to swing your arms and legs in many different directions * Ellipsoidal joints, such as the joint at the base of your index finger, allow bending and extending, rocking from side to side, but rotation is limited * Gliding joints occur between the surfaces of two flat bones that are held together by ligaments. Some of the bones in your wrist and ankles move by gliding against each other * Hinge joints, like in your knee and elbow, enable movement similar to the opening and closing of a hinged door * The pivot joint in your neck allows you to turn your head from side to side * The only saddle joints in your body are in your thumbs. The bones in a saddle joint can rock back and forth and from side to side, but they have limited rotation Bones
in the skull) - Cartilaginous joints, which have small amounts of movement (e.g. between the vertebrae) - Synovial joints, which have a lot of movement as they are held in place by muscles and ligaments. There are four types of synovial joints; ball and socket (e.g. hip and shoulder), hinge (e.g. jaw, knee and elbow), gliding (e.g.
