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.
