- What would you do if you thought there was a safeguarding issue?
- I would make sure the person is safe at the current moment, and immediately report to my Line Manager and/or dedicated Safeguarding person. For example, if I noticed someones behaviour had changed, or their living circumstances were different, like a particular person had a lot of money, or a loss of money, or had unusual items on them, anything that I feel would pose a risk to themselves or others I would immediately report.
- How would you communicate with an individual with autism?
- If someone wasn’t up for talking with me or had very limited speech, I would first try to make them feel comfortable. I would do this by keeping my distance, allowing them their personal space and not asking too many questions. Giving them the opportunity to approach me. I would learn about this person though others to investigate the best way to talk with them.
