  • Duty of care is the responsibility to ensure that we practice in the best interests of the individuals that we support
  • Safeguarding is the responsibility to protect individuals from harm and to support them to protect themselves
  • Therefore, our duty of care is closely aligned with our safeguarding responsibilities because they are both designed to protect individuals receiving care services
  • By acting in the best interest of the individual (duty of care), we can help to protect them from harm (safeguarding)
