Risk Assessments
As an employer, ensuring the health and safety of your staff is one of your most important responsibilities. This isn’t just a legal requirement—it also helps create a positive and productive working environment. When your PAs feel safe and supported, they are more likely to perform well and provide better care.
As an employer, you must be able to show that you have taken reasonable care and reasonable steps to prevent injury or harm to your PAs. The simplest and most effective way to do this is by completing a risk assessment. This provides written evidence that you have considered potential risks and taken appropriate action—so if something does go wrong, you can demonstrate that you acted responsibly.
