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.
