Describe how the duty of care would affect your work role in the adult social care setting?

The duty of care in adult social care means providing a standard of reasonable care to ensure the safety and well-being of the individuals you support. In my work role, this would involve carrying out risk assessments, adhering to policies and procedures, respecting confidentiality, and promoting independence and empowerment while ensuring their safety at all times. It also means being vigilant, responding appropriately to any concerns or incidents, and escalating issues if necessary to safeguard the individuals in my care.
