Safe Support: A tool for in-home support workers

About Safe Support

Safe Support helps those involved in in-home support or services, to understand professional boundaries, maintain a respectful and inclusive home and uphold health and safety during an in-home support service.

Safe Support includes a set of principles to follow during a support service. Under each principle are behaviours that everyone can uphold in the home, to keep each other safe.

Working together, those involved in the in-home support relationship can sign their commitment to safe practices.

The tool tells you about:

• building positive relationships during an in-home support service
• upholding professional boundaries and expectations around safety in the home
• preventing risk of injury in the home
• infection control and hygiene
• respect and inclusion

The cards are available for download as an interactive PDF that can also be printed. There is also an Easy English version of the cards available.
