Preventing Falls: a booklet for care at home staff


The Care Inspectorate have worked with NHS Education for Scotland to develop a pocket-sized booklet for care at home staff.

This highlights the steps that staff can take to help the people that they care for.

These include:

 - asking the person about falls
 - knowing what can help the person to stay well
 - supporting the person to keep their home environment safe.


They have a small number of copies available.  If you would like a copy of this booklet please contact their National Enquiry Line on 0845 600 9527
