Privacy
Service User’s will always be treated with respect and consideration given to the need for privacy. We are sensitive to the fact that due to the nature of the service provided, it can often be harder to enjoy privacy when compared to living totally independently. Simple procedures can make all the difference to a service user’s quality of life such as:
– Service Users can lock their own personal space.
– Staff always knock on service user’s bedroom before entering.
– Service Users have privacy in reading mail or during telephone calls.
– Service Users can dine privately if they choose to.
– Consultations with professionals will always be private unless invited.
– Service Users are not allowed in each other’s bedroom.
