Pristine Domiciliary Care applies the principles underpinning all adult protection legislation and official guidance, which require consideration of:
- the wishes of the vulnerable adults
- the views of others, e.g., nearest relative, primary carer.
- the importance of the vulnerable adult participating as fully as possible
- that the adult is not treated less favourably than someone not considered to be an “adult at risk”
- the adult’s abilities, background, and characteristics, for example, sexual orientation or religious persuasion, which could be factors in the perpetration of the abuse/harm.
In applying these principles, we work in line with local authority support and protection policies and procedures and Care Quality Commission guidance.
