In this episode I look at the issue of Safeguarding under Regulation 13 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and the possible implications of how leaving out certain techniques that leave vulnerable service users at risk may leave an organisation open to prosecution under the Sections 20 – 25 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 and Health & Safety legislation.

And if a death were to occur that could have been prevented by staff being given the right degree of training then there is the potential for prosecution for breach of Article 2(1) of the Human Rights Act 1998 and The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.

Enjoy!
