Scenario:

You are employed as a support worker for an organisation that provides support to clients in their own homes. Your client is a 71-year-old man named Joseph. Joseph has limited mobility in his legs, a slight hearing impairment and diabetes. While Joseph can stand and walk short distances with his walking stick, he often uses a wheelchair to assist in his mobility.

You have been hired to escort Joseph to his niece's wedding and the following reception. You will be required to pick him up from his home, transport him to the venue, assist him in his personal support needs while at the wedding and then return him home.

Explain What personal safety and security risks would you need to account for when supporting Joseph throughout the evening?
