Risk, Safeguarding, Clinical Escalation
ALL PROVIDERS MUST CONTINUALLY MONITOR FOR VARIATIONS IN RISK: THIS IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE AND WE EXPECT ANY VARIATION IN RISK IE SUICIDALITY/SELF HARM TO BE ACTIONED IMMEDIATELY I.E., PATIENT POLITELY INFORMED OF UNSUITABILITY, DISCHARGED AND RECOMMENDED CRISIS/INTENSIVE SERVICES, THAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RESEARCHING IN ADVANCE, SEE OUR “In Crisis?” PAGE. PROCEED ALSO TO RELAY TO POINTS OF CONTACT; SUPERVISOR, COURSE TUTOR, MYPROTHERAPIES SENIOR TEAM.
ANY SAFEGUARDING CONCERNS OUGHT TO BE RELAYED TO POINTS OF CONTACT; SUPERVISOR, COURSE TUTOR, MYPROTHERAPIES SENIOR TEAM.
IF, WITH REGARDS TO RISK OR SAFEGUARDING THERE IS THREAT OF IMMEDIATE HARM, CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY AND DOCUMENT IN YOUR NOTES.
E.g., Someone has purchased materials to commit suicide (rope, pharmaceuticals etc.,) and has a thought out plan to follow through.
E.g., Someone vulnerable is under direct threat of physical harm, for instance a physically violent attacker is trying to enter the home.
Again, while these situations seem extreme, they emphasize the importance of screening for risk in the free consultation.
Equally, do bare in mind that while it is your job to action anything you have been told, it is not your responsibility to action/prevent things you are not aware of, and there are multiple, complex factors that can impact people’s safety.
