Guidelines for the use of bladder scanner in children`s services (G188)
To provide safe research based information in order to assess bladder function using ultrasound on children and young people under the age of 19 years.
Prevent Policy (P46)
The overall aim of the policy is to make clear the duties, responsibilities, and arrangements in place to enable DCHS staff to safeguard and support individuals (children, young people, adults or staff); where it is suspected that the individual(s) is at risk of being drawn into terrorism or other forms of extremist activity. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults is everyone’s responsibility and this Policy sits alongside the DCHS Safeguarding Adults Policy and the DCHS Safeguarding Children’s Policy. The Counterterrorism and Security Act 2015 places a duty on certain bodies, including NHS Trusts, to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”; including a statutory responsibility to appoint a Prevent Lead and provide training for all staff. Healthcare staff have a key role in Prevent. Prevent focuses on working with individuals (patient’s and/or staff) who may be at risk of being exploited by radicalisers and subsequently drawn into terrorist related activity. Prevent does not require staff to do anything in addition to normal duties. Staff are expected to raise concerns about individuals who are being exploited in this way (DOH 2011).
Safeguarding Adults Policy (P28)
The aim of this policy is to support staff to comply with their duties under the Care Act 2014 (sections 42-46) for safeguarding adults and the Derbyshire and Derby Safeguarding Adults Boards Safeguarding Adults Policy and Procedures. The policy sets out the principles and practice of safeguarding adults and the responsibilities of Derbyshire Community Health Services (Trust) staff when caring for an adult (aged 18 years and over) where safeguarding concerns arise. “Safeguarding means protecting an adult’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect…people and organisations working together to prevent and stop both the risks and experience of abuse or neglect, while at the same time making sure that the adult’s wellbeing is promoted including, where appropriate, having regard to their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs in deciding on any action” (Care and Support Statutory Guidance 2017:14.7).
Guidance for Care of Next Infant (CONI) (G212)
This guidance is to support CONI coordinators, health visitors and clinical leads in their organisation and delivery of the CONI scheme to families in Derbyshire.
Clinical Handover Guidelines (G238)
The purpose of a clinical handover is to ensure continuity of information vital to the safety of our patients. The need for effective handover processes has been repeatedly highlighted by NHS improvement. The effective transfer of information ensures the protection of patients and minimises clinical risk. Continuity of information underpins all aspects of a seamless service providing continuity of patient care and patient’s safety These guidelines aim to: • Explain the purpose of clinical handover • Provide a uniform approach to clinical handover • Set out the standards for clinical handover which must be delivered by individual clinicians and clinical teams in DCHS
