Practice Learning - Older People (2)

A student was on a practice learning opportunity in a residential resource for older people. A new resident was about to move in, and the student had been identified as joint key worker (along with another member of the team). The new resident had previously been convicted of abusing a child. The student, in conjunction with other members of the team, and with reference to relevant guidelines considered how to manage/limit the potential risk to children in the community and children visiting the resource to see family members. The student shared this assessment during a 3 way meeting with tutor and practice teacher, and with the team and changes were made to the communal area sometimes used by visitors.
