 | Dr Becca Khanna @rebecca_khanna RT @OTalk_: Lets get started with question 1: Do you engage with or participate in any occupations that may not be deemed as “age appropria… |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! This week I am still in holiday mode. This time I am in Taiwan. It’s 3 am here. #otalk |
 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Who's joining us this evening? Tell us a bit about yourself! (or lurk quietly if you'd prefer 😊) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Well- I don’t want to be jet lagged too much when I return. I have to work Saturday... lol! It’s in the low to mid 30’s literally every day + high humidity! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Hi Aideen! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] In my regular work setting, I know I am responsible for reporting any elder related abuse if I see one. There are guidelines on how soon I need to report such, depending on the case. #otalk |
 | Katharine Scott @kathscottOT Hi I’m an OT and lead a team of complex discharge coordinators - we are all safeguarding ambassadors [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: [REDACTED USER] In my regular work setting, I know I am responsible for reporting any elder related abuse if I see one. There are… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Hi Miles! Remember to write #OTalk at the end of your tweets so that people who are following the chat by searching the hashtag can see it 🙂 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Fortunately not really! But it is important for me to know because just in case the nursing home is in annual surveys (when state surveyors come), it is ALWAYS a good idea to come up with the responses quickly! #otalk |
 | Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ So I work predominantly in A&E and working with elderly and have been involved in raising a few safeguarding situations interesting to complete and you know that you are protecting that person. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @ezzybezzy1989: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ So I work predominantly in A&E and working with elderly and have been involved in raising a… |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes this is very key at the moment and interesting to read about #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Haha- I think I have an #otalk alarm clock every week. ⏰ https://t.co/tGhiNwITKd |
| @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ Khalilah Johnson from North Carolina. OT faculty and practitioner (13 years). I’m lurking tonight. #Otalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ So I work predominantly in A&E and working with elderly and have been involved in raising a… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kathscottOT: Hi I’m an OT and lead a team of complex discharge coordinators - we are all safeguarding ambassadors [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ So we can loads with our safeguarding team to see the progress. But often it is then passed to the social work team who then will investigate it further. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] https://t.co/qGmZTSq2nm We have these regulations in the USA with nursing home setting. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And of course now I am also in academia, it is also important to safeguard students’ academic related information! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] In terms of nursing home, this is actually a collaborative effort between different disciplines. So we actually have to be cohesive so that we can ensure every resident has good quality of life. #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I don't think uni prepare you for what safeguarding is actually. First time you complete one is a scary experience I think #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @ezzybezzy1989: [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I don't think uni prepare you for what safeguarding is actually. First time you complete… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And as for being an academic now also, safeguarding is important because you sometimes have to balance between trying to help the student vs. protecting the student. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I think I learned the very basics of it in uni. But placements are the places where we see real-life applications for the first time. #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Most definitely but I think some further understanding of what to expect of some of these situations would help out students #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think looking back, this is very indirect. It is deeper level stuff that we may look back and realize, “Hey! This is safeguarding.” #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think maybe these could be opportunities for students to ask such questions to their placement educators? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Most definitely but I think some further understanding of what to expect of s… |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think it is. Safeguarding is so complex and you won't understand it in 1 form that's completed #OTalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 [REDACTED USER] Safeguarding makes it difficult at times as you sometimes do have to go against what the patient wants making rappor difficult. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Yes- because we are supposed to do no harm... and this includes not putting patients at risk, including being abused. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3! "Is this part of the OT role?" always an interesting question... 🤔#OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: [REDACTED USER] Safeguarding makes it difficult at times as you sometimes do have to go against what the patient wants making… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Better late than never! Glad you could join us 😊 #OTalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ I think we need to remember it's part of all our roles. We need to have an understanding of the importance of safeguarding and be able to act upon issues that arise #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @ezzybezzy1989: @OTalk_ I think we need to remember it's part of all our roles. We need to have an understanding of the importance of sa… |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] And as for myself also now being an educator, it is my job to make sure I don’t put students in unnecessarily and potentially harmful situations. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That's a great point, Kate! Maybe this is a situation where we shouldn't think of ourselves just in terms of being OTs but as part of a wider MDT? #OTalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 People are worried what it means. I think safeguarding can be so confusing though for those putting in the referral and those in need of it too. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Well- but we also don’t want liability lawsuits in our hands either! #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 So true. I think we need to remember it's not just OTs who do it. Many healthcare professionals do #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Perhaps we can put that in a so-called ethical dilemmas class... or when students doing debriefing halfway through their placements that are vital for their licensure. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: People are worried what it means. I think safeguarding can be so confusing though for those putting in the referral and… |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 It's difficult I think it's gaining there trust. And explain the reason why. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is an interesting way of looking at it; what do you think is the individual role of OT in safeguarding (as opposed to the role of other team members)? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4! I wonder how this varies between different settings? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Need to go back for some 😴. See you guys next week. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We're coming to the end of today's #OTalk! It's been a really interesting chat tonight; lots to think about regarding how we're taught about safeguarding and how we "do" safeguarding in a way that fits with our roles as OTs |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Final question for tonight on preventing safeguarding issues #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is Carolina signing off; thanks [REDACTED USER] for such an engaging chat! We'll have a transcript of the chat available on our blog (https://t.co/xq6um06VVE) later for anyone who would like to catch up 😊 #OTalk |
