"This book gives you all the information you need to complete both the Common Induction Standard [UK] on how duty of care contributes to safe practice." - INTRODUCTION
Written to help those who are studying duty of care within the health and social care sectors, or have a new job working with those who have a disability or have started as a volunteer support person, this book will also be of use to those who have training or supervisory responsibilities.
The writers discuss the meaning of duty of care, any dilemmas that may arise and how to handle comments, complaints and adverse events and incidents.
Each chapter starts with a brief real-life account describing a relevant situation. There are pointers to learning outcomes, suggested activities, descriptions of potential dilemmas and towards the end of the chapter, key points are highlighted.
The publication as a whole has been well thought out. The layout is easy to follow, relevant points obvious and considering that this is an introduction to the subject, just the right length and depth of information.
