Popis: Risk is a high profile area in the care management of people who need consistent support to live healthily. Professionals in multidisciplinary teams need to work together to solve problems, including the chance of risk relating to a client’s care. If a professional is unsure of the level of risk to a client, the multidisciplinary team can be used as a forum to determine the need to implement safeguarding procedures. This chapter examines the use of concern constructions in multidisciplinary team meetings to gain collaborative input from other professionals to determine risk. A range of concern constructions are explored, covering both those that open up discussion between multiple professionals and less successful constructions for creating an opportunity to recruit other professionals’ opinions. The chapter discusses how the ability to voice potential issues is important for professionals in preventing taking action that could have a damaging impact if unfounded.
