ANIMATION Scenario – the nurse will walk into the room without knocking to discover a service user masturbating, the nurse is shocked and disgusted by this and raises her voice to the service user, telling him/her that this is wrong For the animation the service user will not be shown, possibly the nurse walks through the door then showing a surprised/ shocked face of the nurse. The nurse the proceeds to say that's dirty etc. This using an animated person rather than an actual person, however not cartoon like as this will give humour to the scenario which is trying to be avoided.

THOUGHTS The service user and the nurses thoughts on the situation: Service user – I do not know what I have done wrong and why is it wrong Nurse – it is not right for a person with a learning disability to be masturbating or to be sexually active, they need protecting against this Service User Click here Nurse Click here
