Summary
This NHS Employers guide has been produced knowing the increasing number of staff in the health sector who work alone in community settings such as patients’ homes or on outreach work. Lone workers can be vulnerable and at increased risk of physical or verbal abuse and harassment from patients, clients, their relatives or members of the public, simply because they don’t have the immediate support of colleagues or security staff.
Understand the importance of protecting lone workers as well as your legal duties as a manager for lone workers.The guide includes a list of key things to consider, which acts as a helpful checklist for those who manage staff who work alone.
