Overview

Taking risks in some form is something we all do every day, and we take for granted our freedom to take such risks as we choose. For many service users, a bureaucracy that is fearful of a blame culture means that they often do not get the chance to take the risks they are entitled to, and their lives are impoverished as a result. While we normally view risk in terms of danger and consequence, we must attempt to redress the balance and recognise that there are many potential benefits to risk-taking.
