Duty of care

Duty of care means when someone is responsible for something, they should do the best job they can to make sure that thing is safe and protected. In other words, they should take care of it. This is especially important when people are responsible for taking care of children or adults who need help with everyday tasks like dressing, eating or bathing. You should always try to do the best you can to keep the people in your care safe and healthy.
