Title: continence

Hi please could you point me in the right direction with this question.

Identify risks that may arise while supporting continence: risks to the individual, myself and others

Thankyou

Hi louise_newbie,

Think about

individual - UTIs, skin damage through soiled clothing etc, reaction to products etc

You and others - Contamination from waste.

You could include loss of dignity and possible abuse for the individual and accusations of abuse for you and others.

Hope that helps

Aunty Sue
