Every mistake is an opportunity to learn

Error is defined as an unintentional deviation from a goal, caused by an act or omission that is in principle avoidable.

Errors happen when we make decisions. 

• By improving the way we make decisions, we can try to prevent errors, or minimise their probability. 
• By improving the way we respond when things go wrong, we can try to manage errors, or minimise their impact. 
• We can also try to create positive impacts in negative situations, by taking the opportunities for learning that mistakes provide.
