Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Policy (P90)
To provide information about the practical help and support that is available to employees of DCHSFT who are currently experiencing domestic abuse, or are experiencing trauma as a result of their past experiences of abuse. This Policy also covers the approach to be taken where an employee’s behaviour towards their family may constitute domestic abuse. Providing this information empowers Managers to take effective, supportive action and reinforces the message that domestic abuse and sexual violence cannot be ignored.
Chaperone Policy (P87)
The purpose of the Chaperone Policy is to set out the principles, practice and responsibilities of Trust staff for using a chaperone. The policy is aimed at DCHS Services and staff who provide care and treatment that requires the patient to have a procedure. The relationship between the person and the health professional should be one of mutual trust, confidence and respect. Over the years there have been incidents where the relationship has been breached, resulting in harm to the person and criminal prosecution of the health professional (HM Government, 2007). Inadequate communication and misunderstandings about the behaviour demonstrated during a procedure by a health professional towards the person, has also resulted in health professionals facing allegations of professional misconduct. Safe and effective communication is crucial, before during and after a procedure. The use of a chaperone can help to protect both the person and the health professional.
