HSG 220 - Health and safety in care homes

Social care is a large and complex sector. Social care workers enable people – particularly those who require some extra practical and physical help – to live their lives as comfortably and independently as possible.

It has been extensively rewritten, with a number of new topics, and brings together key messages on risks to both workers and residents. It will also be of interest to others working in social care.
