Q&A
- Q. We have been told that our policy and procedure on Prevention of abuse should now be called a Safeguarding policy and procedure, Is this true and why is this?
- Q. Our service was inspected in the early days of the current inspection framework and we were rated as “good” overall. Our last inspection was nearly 2 years ago and the report was published six weeks later. When can we expect another inspection from CQC?
- Q. One of the people we support has been experiencing night time urinary incontinence. We have sought support for them from the continence nurses and they have suggested that we prompt the person during the night to urinate. We are concerned that this prompting may be regarded as detrimental to their wellbeing as prompting will wake them up. What should we do to protect the person and our staff team?
- Q. We have been successful in winning a tender to provide care for the local authority. As part of this tender we had to agree to provide community benefits, one of these is to provide un-paid work experience placements. What issues should we consider before we do this?
