Health And Safety

We offer professional and skilled nursing care from highly trained professionals who are caring, sensitive and compassionate.

We treat with care and love.

All Employees have a duty under section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to take reasonable care for their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions or omissions at work.

Therefore, all staff must use all work items provided for them correctly; in accordance with their training and the instructions they received to use them safely.

SIX PRINCIPLES OF SAFEGUARDING

Our safeguarding protocols are based on 6 key principles first introduced by the Department of Health in 2011, but now embedded in the Care Act, these six principles are:

Empowerment

People being supported and encouraged to Take their own decisions and informed consent. “I am asked what I want as the outcomes from the safeguarding process and these directly inform what happens.”

Prevention

It is better to take action before harm occurs. – “I receive clear and simple information about what abuse is, how to recognise the signs and what I can do to seek help.”

Proportionality

The least intrusive response appropriate to the risk presented. “I am sure that the professionals will work for my best interests, as I see them and they will only get involved as much as I require.”

Protection

Support and representation for those in greatest need. “I get help and support to report abuse. I get help to take part in the safeguarding process to the extent to which I want and to which I am able.”

Partnership

Local solutions through services working with their communities. Communities have a part to play in preventing, detecting and reporting neglect and abuse. “I know that staff treat any personal and sensitive information in confidence, only sharing what is helpful and necessary. I am confident that professionals will work together to get the best result for me.”

Accountability

Accountability and transparency in safeguarding practice. “I understand the role of everyone involved in my life.”

OUR ZERO TOLERANCE APPROACH.

Gleson Healthcare Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to abuse,
unlawful discrimination and restraint.

This includes:

We will only offer employment when the following have been provided by the applicant.

  • At least 2 satisfactory written employer references have been received for that candidate, including one from the last employer.
  • A Disclosure form has been completed and dispatched. A Disclosure form has been completed and dispatched.
  • The DBS check is satisfactory (with no exceptions).

To ensure that our services are well led we will do checks and reviews on any staff`s poor performance. When the manager/supervisor first establishes that the staff member`s performance is unacceptable, we will have a meeting with the employee to try to establish the reason.

Should the interview establish that the performance problems are related to the employee’s personal life, counselling/support may be provided. However, if it becomes apparent that poor performance constitutes misconduct, the disciplinary procedure will be invoked.
