Duty of Care Awareness

Duty of care involves thoughtful decisions as well as clear responsibilities. Explore how to balance support, individual choice and the need to act on concerns, helping staff understand what their role requires when everyday situations are uncertain or difficult.

Use practical examples to examine the relationship between respecting a person's decisions and responding to potential harm. Reflect on professional boundaries, accurate communication and the importance of seeking guidance, giving teams a clearer basis for discussing concerns and explaining the actions they take.
