Lone Working Policy for Home Care
About this document
A lone working policy written specifically for home care and live-in or night care, covering risk assessment of each home, visit planning, electronic call monitoring, check-in and escalation times, personal safety, driving, animals, aggression, and what to do if a person does not answer or is found unwell. It sits alongside the general Lone Working Policy and Risk Assessment in the Health and safety pack.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
