It should be reported only if the trolley was damaged.

It should be recorded privately by the person who saw it, in case it happens again.

Question 5

A support worker at Marsden House, an invented setting, is asked by a colleague to carry out a procedure they have never been trained to do, and the colleague offers to talk them through it. What should the worker do?

Agree, and write in the notes afterwards that they were not trained.

Agree, since being talked through it counts as supervision.
