issues
Can you share information without consent?If not what safe mechanism can you create to
share the small pieces of information ?Can you create systems triggered by
repeats ?What does risk look like?Risk and need –is their a shared
understanding?Who will fund up –releasing staffWho will deliver safety packages ?Jan Pickles
