Sarah is a young girl with complex behavioural concerns. She would like to be able to go to the local community centre to participate in playing bingo and asks her case manager John if he would be able to organise it for her. John is reluctant because Sarah is prone to uncontrolled outbursts and gets frustrated very easily. John does not think that the quiet environment of people playing bingo would be suitable.
John calls the community centre and speaks with David, the event organiser. David explains to John that, while he does not have a personal problem with Sarah attending, he does need to know the level of behavioural issues that Sarah has and what responsibility the community centre would have if the centre Sarah harmed herself while she was there. David also needs to discuss this with the community centre committee, as the other members have a right to a safe environment when participating in their activities. John and David come to the agreement that John will provide David with more information regarding the risks involved with Sarah’s behavioural concerns if Sarah agrees. Then David will consult with the community centre committee to see how Sarah could safely participate in activities at the community centre.
