Thanks Aleks, I look forward to reading the risk enablement P&P

Hi Aleks. Can I ask has there been any movement on the new JEDER Risk management tool??? @Aleks Jovanovic

Hi Brett, There's movement! :) I've handed three policy / process documents to Michaela to review (aligning with current person centred frameworks) . Once that's done, I'll present them to the members for comment.

HI there I have had a read and your work is really great. My only suggestion is in the Enabling risk Policy Risk assessment that only reflects things that are important for people, such as medication procedures, hoist servicing, etc. Could we add "Informative decision Making" I am not sure if this is relevant but I find with my VIP's that making informative decisions would benefit from the "Positive risk management process"

Thanks Bernie. 😊The plan is that we stop using that risk assessment tool after we’ve rolled out the ‘risk enablement’ process.

Sounds good to me!Thank you for your great work!Bernadette MelderThe Jeder Institute

This is the way forward- simple, practical and friendly

HI these look good. the question I have is there a form that we need to fill out to have on echidna so that the auditors are able to see it. or did I not read them fully.

Brett

Hi Brett, Once the 'implementation plan/report' is completed, it will be uploaded to Echidna. The document will serve many purposes: it will serve as a replacement for the Cossie report, home visit safety checklist and risk assessment tool.

Thanks Aleks for all the work on this.

Few clarifying questions:

In stage three- why would the Sydney NDIS teams only use the documents. Stage 2 is for the bored (or Board) to endorse/approve the documents- after documents are endorsed/approved I would assume everyone would use them. Have the documents been trialled/used at this point in time? It would make sense to me to reverse this- get feedback, trial them, provide outcomes of the feed back/refine if needed, put up another proposal and then seek approval/endorsement by bored/board.

Also, are these documents for the whole of Jeder or just the NDIS team- do we expect CoBU to complete them as well? If so, in what context would they use them?

In terms of references/resources- can you provide the references for these so I can have a look at these in more detail?

Risk Policy:

One of the frameworks is from the UK- is this relevant to Australian Standards for Risk Management?

Page 6 & 7 of the Draft Risk Policy- are all these documents and forms available and relevant for Jeder? for example first aid policy and first aid kit checklist- are these ours?

The Policy does not reflect any risk framework for organisational risks? I may have missed this but it seems its more geared for people with a disability/NDIS?

Implementation Plan-

There is some double up on this form- i.e. budget areas- why are there two areas for the budget?

How does this link to the NDIS practice Standards?

Given the timeframe for the poll, I would like to see another discussion about this at the Risk Jedi- I did see in the Feb minutes that you were taking it to the Syd NDIS meeting for trial. I am going to presume that from that meeting it was decided to put the proposal on Loomio- it makes sense to me that it should have gone back to the Risk Jedi for discussion (I may have missed something here though).

Based on this- I am voting to block as I think there is still a bit more conversation that could benefit the whole framework- I do like the way its heading though.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your feedback, the stage 2&3 steps are Suggested out ou courteousy for members and the bored. It is my understanding that we should collaborate even before introducing ‘trials’. Surely we shouldn’t be implementing trials without the Bored’s blessings? Maybe we can?

as for the context and depth for the use of this approach: Yes eventually, it will be the way we approach risk across the whole organisation. This step is the beginning of a continuous improvement process- it’s an improvement to what we practice atm. (Policy, procedure etc) it will take time to become great. Hopefully we (risk jedi, members, bored) can all Come together over the next 12 moths with a common goal to improve.

references are listed at the bottom of the policy document. I’ll check them again.

The risk Jedi has been operating. Time constraints Have made it difficult to cover and ALL risk, whs, priorities as needed- a hell of a lot of work to be done.

I’m not sure how to respond to the ‘Block’ decision now. What next?

Cheers

Aleks

I have read through your excellent work Alek and it is very good, thanks again!!

Thanks Aleks, I guess it's watch this space and I'll meet you for a Risk Jedi Zoom on April 8th

It seems that @Jason Emmins and @Aleks Jovanovic may need to do a bit more work together to address the clarifying questions. Not my strength and with Jason's pedantic hat on, I'm sure you guys will get it right - driving the change and ensuring compliance. Thanks for all the good work. I'm keen to give it a go. What is important to me for the NDIS members is that we have one form that we can build on over time, which covers quality of life, what is going well and not, risks to people, how to minimise the risks, budgets, goals and action plans. The document can then be shared with NDIS and relevant others.

Hi Folks, I am completing my first Risk Enablement document & struggling with 'Working Budget' pages 16 & 17. All the figures I need to enter I have already calculated using Excel and when I add the data to the budget it throws out the alignment, it feels like a duplication of a large amount of work. Any suggestions? Also I'm not sure how to add rows to the improved daily living.

Hi Marg, I know you are not a Tech guru so what i would suggest is taking a 1 page screenshot of your excel budget sheet (if you can) and then cut out the old Funded Support Table so you have a blank page and pasting the excel screenshot in there. If you would like to email it to me i can do it for you if this is tooo techy for you. 🙂

Give me a call Margaret, this budget spreadsheet is based on the one you originally designed. It is an embedded excel

Hi Meredith, Thank you so much, I've managed to get the screen shot into the document!! It's a bit messy but it has saved me tying it all in again.

Hello,

I'm currently away on leave and will be returning Tuesday July 21st

Kind regards,
Alex

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your feedback, comments and ideas regarding our risk enablement ambitions. All feedback has been taken on board, and I have updated the relevant policies (link above will take you to them). I am forwarding the three Risk Enablement documents to the board for approval. @Jason Emmins, @Dee Brooks and @Michaela Kennedy, please review the policies and consider endorsing them. There has been lengthy consultation within the Risk Jedi, Sydney Member team, Loomio (all members), Coaches meetings and Continuous Improvement Jedi. @Michelle Dunscombe There may need to be some mild formatting done 🙂- I've done the best I can for now.

Thanks for your support.

These are fantastic! Great work, team! I can see some formatting would be useful, yes and add a better quality header but the content is incredible!

Oh, there is strong support for 'Risk Enablement' from the NDIS too. Check out their policy!

Great news Aleks! Was thinking the Creative Jedi could cast a eye on the graphics at our next meeting. What do you think? We could make them all consistent in style.

Sounds like a great idea! Consistency would really smarten them up!

Thanks, Mark, Go for it. I'll try my best to pop into the Jedi.
