How trust is built

  • Listening to the person and what matters to them
  • Respecting choice, consent and dignity
  • Keeping visit notes clear and factual
  • Sharing concerns with the right people at the right time

Risk and review

Care plans and risk assessments are reviewed when needs change. This may include mobility, nutrition, medication, skin integrity, cognition, falls risk or home safety.

Medication oversight

Where medication support is agreed, staff follow the care plan and recording process, including MAR entries and escalation for refusals, omissions, PRN concerns or unexpected changes.

Communication with families and professionals

With appropriate consent and in line with confidentiality and UK GDPR, concerns may be shared with family members, health professionals, social work teams or emergency services where needed to support safer outcomes.
