ensure all parties are satisfied with the treatment or interaction that has occurred, if there are problems be able to explain the complaints procedure
leave when you are finished, it’s not a social call
whenever possible return to base or phone in when you are expected to notify any changes in plans or delays

ACTION FOLLOWING AN INCIDENT
allow yourself time to recover, seek practical support from your colleagues and manager
contact your manager
return to base
contact the police, if appropriate
seek proper medical attention for any physical injuries
share information with others who work in the area or visit the particular address or client, if appropriate add information to patient notes
report all incidents through the formal reporting procedures
be prepared for natural post trauma reactions. Even after very minor incidents, feelings may be difficult to control and may affect your ability to deal with any further problems that arise. This is a perfectly natural reaction – if in doubt – take time out
ask for de-briefing and further counseling if post trauma reactions persist
whenever appropriate institute a formal case review
try to identify where control was lost and how, so that practice and training can be improved accordingly
