Safeguarding clients and carers
We make it a priority to safeguard both our clients and our carers.
If we receive reports of abuse or neglect in any situation, we will immediately report this to the next of kin, local authority or police, if necessary.
We insist that our carers only work in safe working environments.
We always promote mutual respect in any care placement.
We consistently ask for feedback on each and every one of our carers to maintain our high level of care.
Carers may wear PPE to bookings, if they feel it’s necessary- this usually consists of a bib and/or gloves.
