Your Responsibility As a Worker
It is important that you know the ways of working to safeguard adults in your workplace. These will tell you how to meet the CQC Fundamental Standards of Quality and Safety as well as the code of conduct.
Your Responsibilities
The code of conduct states that workers must:
“Always make sure that your actions or omissions do not harm an individual’s health or wellbeing. You must never abuse, neglect, harm or exploit those who use health and care services, their carers or colleagues’.
Your Responsibility As a Worker
You should be able to identify the different types of abuse and the signs or “indicators” that are happening. In general, changes to someone’s personality or appearance, mood, swings, and self-harming could all be signs that abuse is happening.
