Dentists must always put the patient’s safety first and act promptly if patients or colleagues are at risk and take measures to protect them.
Dentists should take appropriate action if they have concerns about the possible abuse of children or vulnerable adults.
Dentists must be familiar with the practice’s written procedures for raising concerns and be familiar with local procedures for the protection of children and vulnerable adults and know who to refer to for advice.
ESs and FDs must inform the TPD of any significant events at the practice concerning the trainee and declare any current investigations by the GDC, or any other investigation related to their work as a dentist.
