Ligature Awareness

Ligature awareness requires attention to the environment as well as the individual. Explore potential concerns, relevant risk information and proportionate safety responses, helping staff understand how observation, clear communication and agreed plans fit together in care settings.

Consider the importance of responding to changes without making assumptions about a person's needs or intentions. Discussion focuses on sharing information appropriately, recognising the limits of the role and following organisational arrangements, with dignity and supportive relationships remaining central to support.

Who This Course Is For

Care staff, support workers and managers working in services where ligature risk is relevant.
