Safeguarding | Duty of Care | Escalation | Records
Safeguarding is everyone’s job. When a person is immobile, confused or frail, teams must spot risk and act: repositioning, daily skin checks, hydration/nutrition and pressure relief. Concerns must be raised early—and recorded.
If you think standards are not being met, put it in writing. Ask for the plan, turning charts and wound logs. Our pressure sore compensation hub explains escalation and the legal route if harm occurs.
Where preventable harm happened, evidence supports accountability and fair compensation for treatment, equipment and future care.
