Here are some examples of what you may be covered for.
A support worker fails to properly assist a participant with mobility, leading to a fall and subsequent injury. The participant claims that the worker did not follow safety protocols, resulting in harm.
A support worker does not provide the necessary level of support during a meal, leading to a choking incident. The participant claims that the support worker was not adequately trained to assist with their specific dietary needs.
A support worker mistakenly administers the wrong dosage of medication to a participant. The participant suffers adverse effects and claims that the worker did not follow proper medication management guidelines.
A support worker inadvertently shares confidential information about a participant with unauthorised individuals. The participant claims that this breach of privacy has caused them emotional distress and potential harm.
A participant claims that a support worker did not provide adequate personal care (e.g., bathing, grooming), leading to health complications such as skin infections. The participant contends that this negligence affected their overall well-being.
Consider the scenario where, as a support worker, you're experiencing a particularly hectic day. Amid the pressure, you inadvertently administer the wrong dosage of medication to a participant, resulting in their need for emergency medical attention. This mistake could lead to allegations of negligence or professional misconduct. Professional Indemnity Insurance would help protect you by covering legal fees and any compensation you might be required to pay.
