MANAGING RISKS WITH INDIVIDUALS A Risk Assessment There are lots of things people like to do in life that involves risk. This plan is about doing things as safely and sensibly as we can rather than saying we are only doing things that are totally safe. There will not be a score at the end of this form but a series of things we can do to make the thing you want to do safer. Risk assessments are usually carried out when: 1. The activity has the potential to cause harm or is more dangerous than an everyday activity. 2. The personal circumstances of the individual make the activity more likely to cause harm or be dangerous. (You may find it useful to read the guidance notes before beginning). |kR9 | PLAN SERIAL NUMBER (e.g. FB01) 1) Name of the person this plan is for: |Kahlilur rahman | 2) The activity that the plan is about: |Cooking meals safely in his home | | | | | | | 3) What are the benefits of doing this activity' |Cooking meals safely in his home | |Khalilur being able to cook with staff support to develop his skills in the kitchen, develop his knowledge of food and promote | |independence. | |To increase Khalilur’s awareness of food and healthy eating. | |Khalilur enjoys this activity and likes to participate in cooking and preparing food | | | | | | | | | 4) What are the risks of not undertaking this activity' |      | | | | | | | | | 5) What could go wrong or be considered dangerous' (Please detail any reasonable things that you can think of and the actions that could be taken to make the activity safer, not necessarily in order of priority.
