firstly the staff probably need to be DBS checked and look at SOVA or its equivalent

this can be a complicated area and unless the company is very experienced in this area it may be the case that they take advice and workers [for their own protection] may have to work in pairs e.g. even smoking in somebodies home can be offensive and some tenants may suffer from all kinds of 'mental' things - I know of one area that was known as the 'baby doll' area and staff had to work in twos because of their high possibility of sexual harassment from the supported tenants

maintenance V care - in this type of environment the company and workers need to have the appropriate attitude as the care aspects cannot go away in some instances e.g. the worker needs to appreciate the circumstances as must the employer so additional time may be needed for the staff to do work as they may also need to interface somewhat with the tenants noting that this is the tenants home

The key issue is the definition of 'work with' children and vulnerable adults; our staff will not be working with them, but may be working in situation which may bring them into contact with such groups of people.

I'll check the information sources you have listed.

Thanks
