Unit 7 Principles of Safe Practice in Health and Social Care
In this essay I will be examining how a duty of care contributes to safe practice in
health and social care setting and displaying my understanding on how to respond to
concerns about abuse and neglect in health and social care settings.
Duty of Care can be defined in numerous ways, such as individual’s well-being, good
practice, providing care to the best of your ability, ensuring the safety of all around.
Duty of Care is not only to the patient, but to your employer, colleagues, public
interest and also yourself. This can be ensuring you do not put yourself and those
around you at risk. (class notes)
As a member of staff, the service users begin to trust you and you must ensure they
are treated fairly and with dignity. As service users may not ask for what they need
as they feel intimidated physically by another service user, member of their family,
friend or even a member of staff, however they have rights and unique needs and
abilities.
Staff are in a position of trust to all service users, to ensure service users are not
exploited, intimidated or unfairly treated, you must be able to explain to your
managers how your actions were safe, fair and proportionate or warranted.
Ensure that you follow and put into practice the safe workplace policies which are set
by your employer. Not following safe practices may lead to accidents that may be
painful and can cause permanent damage. The Care Quality Commission (CQC)
requires that health and safety training should be part of training.
A code of conduct tells staff how they should be behaving when they are interacting
with others and how to maintain and improve the quality of the service, being
effective in what is done, staying safe and promoting the safety of others.
