Well-treatment Facility Label

Résumé

Abuse describes a multitude of situations where the suffering of a vulnerable person is revealed. On the other hand, well-treatment is a common sense notion that allows the establishment of a relationship of trust and security between frail people and their caregivers. Faced with an upsurge in cases of abuse, the appearance of the Well-Treated Establishment® label provides a response to the challenges faced by professionals in the social/medical/social sectors, caregivers and frail people.

 

 

What is Well-treatment Facility Labels ?

Qu'est-ce que

The Well-Treated Establishment® label, founded by Anne Picard, director of AX'AIDE, aims to bring you a solution to promote benevolence and encourage good treatment in establishments that welcome fragile people (children, elderly, sick, disabled people).

It is the result of :

  • An awareness of situations of abuse in different physical and medical forms,
  • A desire to set up preventive actions against abuse and to promote a "culture of good treatment" among professionals


This label is based on major issues:

  • Putting the human element back at the heart of support for the dependent person
  • Preserving the rights and integrity of vulnerable persons, with kindness, empathy and good treatment


This label is designed around 4 fundamental principles:

  • Information: concerns all the knowledge to which all stakeholders have access in order to evolve in an environment of trust and clarity
  • Training: concerns all the teams in order to enhance their skills on the notions of abuse and the implementation of specific actions to act accordingly and develop a posture in line with good treatment
  • Practice: concerns all professional practices implemented by the staff
  • Management: concerns the management and organization of the establishment. The culture of good treatment is central to the governance of the institution


These four principles are cross-cutting and can be found throughout the specifications.
