Safeguarding: All you need to know as a healthcare worker .

Principles of adult safeguarding Adults have the right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect People are supported to make decisions in their own interests Any intervention should be the least restrictive of the adult adult’s freedom The adult should participate as fully as possible in any decision that is made. Professionals should work collaboratively to provide appropriate protection, help and support. Protection Take prompt action if you think that patient safety, dignity or comfort is or may be seriously compromised. Whether or not you have vulnerable adults as patients, consider their needs and welfare and offer them help if you think their rights have been abused or denied. Empowerment Treat patients as individuals and respect their dignity and privacy. Support patients in caring for themselves to empower them to improve and maintain their health. Proportionality Treat information about patients as confidential. Be satisfied that you are handling personal information lawfully. Disclose the minimum information necessary for the purpose. Partnership Give patients information about all the options available to them in a way they can understand. Listen to patients, take account of their views, and respond honestly to their questions. Keep up to date with, and follow, the law, our guidance and other regulations relevant to your work. #healthcare #care #career #safeguard #safeguarding #healthandsocialcare #howto #healthcarejobs
