My question centres on the supports available to staff. In many institutional settings the pressures of the job can be a factor in people not adhering to guidelines or the rules in place. It applies in particular in this setting. It is a very difficult job. Sometimes staff might find themselves in an impossible situation. Is counselling available for staff? Are supports available? Is there somewhere they can go to highlight difficulties or discuss how the guidelines are not working? How can we assist in making things more workable?
