Risk Research Project
Welcome to the Adult Protection Resources section of the website.
Here you can find all the information you need about the recent Altrum Risk Research Project which was hosted here at Thistle Foundation.
The full suite of documents can be downloaded from this part of the website.
We have also created a series of videos to support thinking about keeping the person at the centre of any concerns of harm.
If you are interested in the history of the project then that is available here to.
The project also produces regular newsletters - get the latest here.
“A certain element of risk taking is essential to enrich all our lives, and this project will clarify what level of risk disabled people, who depend on support from others, want to have in theirs.”
Diana Paton, Chief Executive of Thistle Foundation and Treasurer of Altrum
