Have a responsibility to make staff aware of this policy as part of their induction process. It is the responsibility of department managers and clinical leaders to monitor adherence to this policy in respect of the staff that they manage. Decisions may be influenced by the following: The degree of moving & handling necessary in the role Any risk of violence and aggression towards staff The degree of personal care, requiring awareness of infection prevention and control issues Whether the overall image is professional Where a member of staff s standard of dress fails to meet the requirements of this policy, it is the manager s responsibility to address this with the individual. 3.5 Employees Employees are individually responsible for their general presentation, appearance, and personal hygiene and have a responsibility to consider how their appearance may be perceived by others. This means that staff should wear clothing which: Is appropriate to their role Is not likely to be viewed as offensive, revealing, or sexually provocative Does not distract, cause embarrassment or give rise to misunderstanding Is absent of any political or otherwise contentious slogans Is not considered to be discriminatory and is culturally sensitive Does not place themselves or others at risk Employees are responsible for following the standards of dress and appearance laid down in this policy and must understand how this policy relates to their working environment.

Therefore health and safety, security and control of infection risks associated with items of clothing or accessories must be considered in relation to activities being carried out, whether clinical or non-clinical. Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust is a public service organisation which serves the people of Lancashire and is necessarily concerned with health, patient care, safety, hygiene and business. It is the Trust Policy that each of its employee s personal appearance, dress, grooming and hygiene should be appropriate to the work situation. The Trust recognises the diversity of cultures, religions and disabilities of its employees and will take a sensitive approach when this affects dress and uniform requirements. However, priority will be given to health and safety, security and infection prevention control issues. Risk assessments will take place as appropriate. Employees at all times are expected to present a professional, business like image. Acceptable personal appearance, dress, grooming and hygiene are an on-going requirement of employment with LCFT. The way staff dress sends messages to the patients they care for, and to the public. 5.1 T his policy is applicable to all staff and it describes the minimum acceptable standards of dress at all times.
