Lone Worker Awareness

Lone working can change how staff manage everyday risks and seek support. Explore personal safety planning, communication arrangements and responses to concerns, helping teams think ahead about the situations they may face when immediate assistance is not nearby.

Use realistic examples from care and community work to consider preparation, agreed check-ins and the information needed before a visit or task. Reflect on when circumstances change, how to follow local arrangements and why staff should feel able to raise concerns or seek guidance.

Who This Course Is For

Care staff, outreach workers, community teams and employees working without immediate colleague support.
