Good Practice When Working With Adults at Risk

To help prevent abuse occurring and false allegations arising, the following basic guidelines will help safeguard both the adult at risk and members of staff.  

You must: 

• treat all service users with dignity and respect.
• provide an example of good conduct you wish others to follow.
• challenge unacceptable behaviour - e.g. bullying and report all allegations/suspicions of abuse.
• be identifiable and always wear a name badge. 

You must not: 

• have unwarranted contact with an adult at risk.
• make any comments, which may have a sexual connotation.  .
