i have done this unit. i work in a nursing home. i researched the care home fire in the nursing home in glasgow where 14 people lost their lifes no fire training had been done the home had the linen door wedged open which caused the fire to spread in minutes there were no automatic door closures the staff kept reseting the fire panel without calling fire services. lessons learned from this was fire scotland act 2005 which states that all employers must have a fire risk assessment in place. staff must have regular fire training day staff 6 monthly night staff 3 monthly. it is iilegal to wedge open fire doors. all the information regarding lessons learned in this serious failure which caused death is on the website. i do not know if this can apply to your workplace but i found this to be straight forward. you can also research soham mrders and talk about disclosure ect whatever suits your workplace

CAT24 Please can you tell me the website to find more details about it? I'm doing my NVQ3 and is a perfect sample to make my homework.

Think about it from the perspective of abuse of power and attitudes in society that allow this abuse to happen. Do you work with children and young people? If not consider why everyone is asked to look at failures that affect children such as Baby P - but very few are asked to consider the abuse of people such as Margaret Panting http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/In-her-life-Margaret-became.701255.jp

What can you do in your setting to make sure that we don't 'give permission' for staff to abuse by treating people as less than human - look at the language used in the setting - do we 'feed and toilet' older people? (we don't feed and toilet ourselves ..) Do we treat older adults as if they were children - are we disrespectful? Remember if we live long enough we will experience social or health care ourselves so we should work hard to make sure it's respectful and people are treated with dignity
