Keep it secure, record the item and use the home's identification process. It should not be guessed at, discarded or placed in another resident's room.
The assistant should follow the home's designated segregation and processing method and escalate any unclear or damaged containment.
No, unless the home's authorised property process permits it. Secure and record the item and refer repair, disposal or compensation decisions to the designated manager.
Avoid opening or transferring it informally, protect the area and use the home's containment, protective-equipment and escalation procedure.
Only within expressly trained minor tasks; electrical, mechanical or safety faults should be isolated and passed to authorised maintenance support.
Use the home's labelling, batch and unit checks and record unresolved items rather than placing unconfirmed clothing in a resident's room.
Yes. Define the separate collection, identification and processing arrangements so staff items do not compromise resident linen or infection routes.
Retain collection and return information, labels, batch or machine details, searches, staff handovers and the formal property or complaint report.
