requirements as to fulfil their roles and responsibilities. In addition with this, it is also required to

training there will be an increase in the skills and knowledge of employees with the help of
which they can provide best services even in complex situations (Brownson, Baker, Deshpande,

practice can efficiently offer a assistance at a superior level of quality in a health and social care
organisation. This practice comprises of reviewing and disseminating current research adjacent

some of that include, Quality Protects, Right to Action, The Care Standards Act, 2000 and
Valuing people.
Regular inspection of care home is required to be done as to measure that essential

output and desired output are more than the acceptable limit. Thus, it can be said that with all the
necessary information about the prevention and precautionary measures, they would be able to
decrease the scope of any risk to take place within the confines of their offerings. To determine
the risks that may occur at the work premises, risk assessment measures would be taken up by
