Your involvement may include helping those with limited mobility, offering emotional support to confused or distressed residents, or providing end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate steps to take if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and escalate concerns appropriately.
