Question

explain the legal andethical considerations for working with people with disability with respect to dignity of risk

Answer 1

Ans) Dignity of risk is the idea that self-determination and the right to take reasonable risks are essential for dignity and self esteem and so should not be impeded by excessively-cautious caregivers, concerned about their duty of care.

- Legal ethics is the minimum standards of appropriate conduct within the legal profession. It is the behavioral norms and morals which govern judges and lawyers. It involves duties that the members owe one another, their clients, and the courts.

- Dignity of risk, on the other hand, is a concept that outlines how people should have the freedom to make decisions and choices that may expose themselves to a level of risk. A more sophisticated approach considers the dignity of risk as a fundamental principle or practice of our duty of care in the first place.
