We understand that planning is a crucial part of providing care for vulnerable individuals and whilst Care Plans and Risk Assessments are available, we know that these may not cover the key factors in preparing for certain risks relating to your clients. Contingency Plans ensure this preparation is documented!
Why would I create a Contingency Plan?
Contingency Plans give managers the ability to plan for something that they anticipate can become a risk. For example, let's say you have a client that has a mental health condition and they have never self-harmed before but you think that that might be a risk, you may create a contingency plan for that.
