| Annotation | UKHCA is the national representative association for member organisations providing care, including nursing care, to people in their own home. This Code of Practice provides guidelines to enable an organisation providing homecare to operate in such a way that: i) the highest standards of care are provided; ii) the rights and welfare of service users are paramount; iii) the rights and welfare of careworkers are protected. The Code then proceeds to outline how this can be achieved in six parts. Part 1: Introduction and definitions (of terms used); Part 2: Service users' rights; Part 3: Operation of the service; Part 4: Responsibilities in relation to careworkers; Part 5: Legal and financial responsibilities; Part 6: General responsibilities. Statutory and workforce regulators are given as appendices. (KJ). |
