HCPA and Hertfordshire County Council have worked together to develop practice guidance for Safeguarding and Falls.
Not every fall will need to be reported as a safeguarding issue, this practice guidance covers the following topics to ensure correct reporting:
- What to consider when somebody has fallen
- When and how to report a safeguarding, in relation to falls
- Categories linking to fall’s
- Pressure Care
Please view the new practice guidance here
For any enquires into falls prevention or to discuss Prevention and Enablement then please get in touch by emailing stopfalls@hcpa.co.uk
