In 2004 the Committee of Inquiry looked at the role and use of chaperones, following its report into the conduct of Dr Clifford Ayling. It made recommendations, which included that all chaperones should receive training. This half-day course is appropriate for all clinical and non-clinical staff wishing to perform the role of a formal chaperone in a health care setting.
