14. To support and assist residents in identifying risks and recording the support plan which minimizes and manages the identified risk

15. To agree and record with the resident their needs wishes and preferences and how these will be met.

16. Identify and support appropriately residents with capacity and those who lack capacity.

17. Record appropriately all decisions which relate to residents who lack capacity.

18. Involve and consult with residents, their families, representatives or advocates to ensure that the resident’s views are expressed and acted upon.

19. Attend reviews of care as appropriate.

20. Update and continually improve practice by a mutually agreed method which may include attendance at staff meetings, learning support briefings and one-to-one supervision.

21. Take responsibility in conjunction with line manager for identifying further learning.
