Successes – The accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Challenges - A task or situation that tests someone’s abilities. INTENTIONAL SAFEGUARD PLANS (Also referred to as Risk Management Plans, or Risk and Vulnerability Plans) Each person you support will have an Intentional Safeguards Plan. The Intentional Safeguards Plan is written up after a series of meetings with the person being supported, their family and any other person in the support network. YOU SHOULD HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE INTENTIONAL SAFEGUARDS PLAN FOR EACH PERSON THAT YOU ARE SUPPORTING. The Intentional Safeguards Plan tells you areas where the person you are supporting may be vulnerable or at risk, or may put others at risk. It tells you what the likelihood is of that risk or vulnerability occurring and the management strategies (how to respond) in the event that a situation of risk or vulnerability occurs. Management strategies can also be referred to as Management of Vulnerabilities or Risks – they are a detailed plan for support around vulnerabilities. Have a look at a blank Intentional Safeguards Plan (you can find one on the Internal Website). You will notice that there are two sections to the plan. Section 1. This section provides a checklist to identify potential areas of vulnerability of the individual and areas where the individual may put others at risk. This section is used to guide the consultation and conversations that happen as this Plan is being put together. Section 2. The second section selects areas identified in section one and develops a plan of implementation to eliminate, reduce or isolate the perceived risk. 20
It is VERY important that you know these plans and that you follow the management strategies when necessary. It is important for you to know the management strategies so that you can keep the person you support and yourself safe. It is important for your colleagues or fellow support staff to know the management strategies so that they too can be safe – but also so that the entire support team is responding to situations in the same way and are providing support that is consistent. The level of vulnerability or risk is not arrived at by chance. When assessing the level, the person or people putting the plan together consider the following things. First they ask “How likely is it that this situation will occur?”, then they ask “What are the consequences of this situation occurring?”. By answering both of those questions, the level of risk is established. LIKELIHOOD The likelihood of this occurring is pretty certain. The likelihood of this occurring is likely. The likelihood of this occurring is possible The likelihood of this occurring is not likely. The likelihood of this occurring is rare. C O N S E Q U E N C E The consequences of this situation would result in high risk of harm or actual harm occurring. The consequences of this situation would result in significant risk of harm. The consequences of this situation would result in moderate risk of harm. The consequences of this situation would result in minimal risk of harm. The consequences of this situation would result in insignificant risk of harm.

Look in section 2 of the Intentional Safeguards Plan you have in front of you. You will see that the left hand column identifies the risk or vulnerability. The middle column identifies what the level of risk is and the right hand column tells you how you and your colleagues should be providing support (the management strategies). In Community Connections, Intentional Safeguard Plans are put together much like Personal Plans. We have an information gathering or consultation process where we talk with the person, their family and their support network. Together we look at that person’s life and their CCLPv2 010116 :: Page 21
