The following should be considered when developing interventions:
- Person-focused services to improving outcomes
- take account of individual circumstances
- recognise and adapt to changing needs
- allow the adult at risk to take control of their life and give them an increased sense of ownership and investment in their outcomes
- build skills and coping mechanisms
- promote resilience
The co-production of a plan should ensure:
- a joined-up and multi-agency response
- a seamless progression for families between different interventions and
- programmes
- a vigorous approach and relentless focus must be maintained which can adapt to the adult at risk’s changing circumstances
