The HSE’s Safeguarding Vulnerable Persons at Risk of Abuse National Policy and Procedures was launched in Dec 2014. In order to ensure effective implementation of this policy and procedures, the HSE began offering training to Designated Officers.
In 2016, both Tamara Mulhern, Manager and Claire Smyth, Physiotherapist completed the two day course in order to become Designated Officers for the MS North West Therapy Centre. Mairead Martin, Manager is the designated officer for Woodhaven. In line with the national policy we have publicly declared through a post in the entrance area of the MS North West Therapy Centre that the Centre has and promotes a ‘No Tolerance’ approach to any form of abuse. A local policy was developed to direct the protocol of dealing with an allegation or suspicion of abuse in a service and community setting.
The MS Centre and its services have all relevant policies and procedures in place which are reviewed on a periodic basis.
