Duty of care

Introduction: 

A duty of care is a moral and legal responsibility that compels people and institutions to act in a way that keeps others safe. It is our duty to see to it that the people we deal with on a professional basis are safe, secure, and protected. This obligation includes preventing carelessness or neglect that could cause injury in addition to avoiding intentional harm.
