Thinking lots of people on the forums might be interested in this. My support worker told me about it. The Dignity of Risk :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignity_of_risk
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities[edit]
The first of eight "guiding principles" of the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities states: "Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of persons."[18]

Thanks for sharing @Shaz51, the dignity of risk is something that we all take for granted until it is taken away from us isn't it?
