Employment Law in Care & Voluntary Work

Those who run care homes, social care establishments and voluntary enterprises carry a huge burden as their work not only involves the attentive care of vulnerable people, but also has to comply with a mountain of legislation.

Ensuring that utmost care is given to residents and service users requires robust procedures, especially for the employment and training of staff.

As our consultancy is bespoke, we can tailor our delivery to suit everyone's needs, ensuring that operators of social care facilities are fully compliant with the latest Employment Law and HR regulations, helping them to safeguard against potential issues arising through:

Abuse or neglect of residents or service users
Inappropriate handling of prescribed medicines and drugs
Shift and lone working hours
Misuse of personal property
Breaches of confidentiality
Lack of due care and attention towards family and friends of patients
Failure to follow documented procedures or reporting of incidents

In addition to these, there is the challenge of securing the appropriate employees in the first place. We can help make sure your selection and recruitment process is both successful and legally sound, giving you extra peace of mind and more time to concentrate on core activities.
