Evidence: The learner must be able to provide the exact location of the Risk Management Strategies on an
Intentional Safeguards plan, thus evidencing they have looked at a plan. The Learner has considered how this

Judgement: The process used to develop an Intentional Safeguards Plan within CC is described, as are each of
these components: consultation, risk identification, risk evaluation, risk management strategies, how the plan is
communicated and made known to relevant staff, and two circumstances in which an Intentional Safeguards

described how ISP supports a person-centred approach to support.
