No substantive change should be made without the authorised assessment. The senior can record evidence and request prompt review.
It may include factual updates within consent and role authority, while clinical or complaint decisions should go to the responsible professional or manager.
Yes. Identify the review preparation and resident involvement expected, while reserving formal assessment or clinical approval for the appropriately authorised person.
Only where that duty is part of the service model and the employee is trained, assessed and authorised. The contract should not confer permission merely through the job title.
Titles vary between employers, so the contract should define the real work: floor leadership, direct care, family contact, records, medicine duties and the decisions actually delegated.
Yes, for induction, demonstration and day-to-day support where assigned. Formal competency sign-off or employment action requires separate authority and suitable competence.
Yes, if applicable. Set the permitted transactions, receipts, dual checks, records and escalation route so access to residents' money is narrow and auditable.
The senior should stop unsafe use where necessary, make the resident safe, preserve relevant information and request review from the competent assessor or manager.
