<strong>Practical</strong> <strong>approaches</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>safeguarding</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>personalisation</strong><br />
2. Integrating <strong>safeguarding</strong> in<strong>to</strong> council<br />
business processes<br />
A well-designed business process should have checks <strong>and</strong> balances <strong>to</strong> improve risk<br />
management throughout. The following are critical stages in the process of self-directed<br />
support when risks <strong>and</strong> benefits can be identified <strong>and</strong> <strong>approaches</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>safeguarding</strong> considered:<br />
1. Early intervention <strong>and</strong> prevention<br />
2. First contact<br />
3. Assessment<br />
4. Support planning<br />
5. Agree plan <strong>and</strong> sign off<br />
6. Outcomes review<br />
1. Early intervention <strong>and</strong> prevention<br />
Working <strong>to</strong> ensure that the general population can lead active <strong>and</strong> fulfilling lives that are free<br />
from harm is the starting point for <strong>personalisation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>safeguarding</strong>. Many councils are<br />
actively exploring new <strong>approaches</strong> <strong>to</strong> engaging with local people <strong>and</strong> identifying issues at an<br />
early stage rather than waiting for people <strong>to</strong> come <strong>to</strong> them when a problem arises. Increasing<br />
emphasis is being put on ensuring that there is a ‘universal offer’ that is made <strong>to</strong> people<br />
regardless of their financial means or level of need.<br />
