Evidence / Unit, Element, PCs / Knowledge
I work in a day centre for older people. I am X’s keyworker. At 9am we welcome all the service users from the bus and help them with their coats and belongings talking to them all the time to help them feel welcomed. We then offer everyone a cup of tea or coffee. We offer them a choice of drink in accordance with the national care standards which we must comply with at all times. Sometimes Mrs X gets upset as she has recently lost her husband. When this happens one of the staff team sits with her and offers her comfort. If she were to become inconsolable I would contact my manager for advice. Once everyone is off the bus and settled we complete their daily notes. If I was working with Mrs X I would write down about her being upset and how I comforted her. I then store the file in the locked filing cabinet because this is what it says in the data protection act. I also follow organisational procedures and guidelines and other relevant legislation in my work.
