Thank you for your comment. 10.4 a,b, and c are on the video - they start at 22:51. The link below has information about the term 'harm': dsdweb.co.uk/level-2-diploma-in-care/safeguarding-and-protection-in-care-settings/describe-what-constitutes-harm-and-explain-why-an-individual-may-be-vulnerable-to-harm-or-abuse/
@@CareCertificate This is an incredibly comprehensive coverage of what is a very important subject. Listening and working alongside your videos is very affirming.
Hi, I am confused, I read somewhere that risks cannot be eliminated, but minimised. So, does this mean risk of abuse etc cannnot be removed 100% ? If this is the case then what about HSE hazards, the risk of falling etc, those risks also can only be reduced and not entirely removed? Plesae help.... :)
Yes, some risks cannot be removed entirely - we can all fall over. Risk management is about ensuring we've done everything we can to minimise the risks. With regards abuse, we can ensure that we dbs check carers and provide them with training and supervision. But there is still an element of risk there. Sometimes we can eliminate risk completely by - for want of a better example, we could eliminate the risk of injury from jumping out of an aeroplane with parachute by not jumping out of the aeroplane.
The Care Certificate was developed to be undertaken as part of the induction procedure for employees that are new to the care sector. It assumes that learners are already in a care-providing role. If you are doing the care certificate without being in a care role, I would suggest that you contact your training provider for further guidance on how to proceed.
Thanks for your fast response and explaination. I might have to skip that one then I suppose. Would skipping 1 question in the whole course have consequences besides a lower score?
Again, you'd have to check with your training provider. The cc doesn't really have a scoring system - it is made up of a set of assessment criteria designed to assess the learners knowledge, skills and understanding. The assessor should be satisfied that the learner meets all of the criteria before awarding a certificate. The Workbooks are just one part of this, primarily knowledge and understanding - practical skills should also be assessed before the cc is awarded and I'm not sure how this would be achieved for somebody that isn't already working in a care role...perhaps by simulation or some other method.
Hi, can you please tell me what would happen if a person has the mental capacity but still wants his decison honoured of going to the pub and meet his mates, but there is a potential risk of abuse (ie a safeguarding risk/issue arises) of being financially abused by his friends whenever he meets up with them at the pub etc (has a hsitory of being taken advantage of with regards to money). What would happen in this instance? Would a safeguarding risk assessment need to take place ?
Talk with them about the risks and how they could be minimised. Make sure its documented. But its still their choice to go out if that's what they want to do. If you have concerns about abuse, report it to your safeguarding lead.
@@CareCertificate But whnere there is a clear suspicion of abuse that could occue, does that mean the risk assessment stops there and then i.e you do not let the resident go to the pub until the manager discuss with resident about referring to safeguarding team? i am a bit confused here, please help... :(
Incredibly comprehensive and informative.
Thanks for the video I really wanna wait for the next one!!! 👌🏻
you're missing 10.4. could you please explain the term harm in this context?

Do safeguarding risk assessments follow the same format as HSE risk assessments?
Yes they can do. The important thing is that you take the time to assess the risks and document your findings.

How am I supposed to answer 10.3a if I've never worked in care or hospitality? Or if I'm unemployed??
