Explain the importance of full and up-to-date details of agreed ways of working

It is very important that I have a latest written or printed copy of agreed ways of working, as it changes from time to time according to service user’s choices and circumstances, CQC requirements, business insurance policies, health and safety regulations and national crisis. If I do not become familiar with full and up-to-date copy of agreed ways of working, then I will remain unfamiliar to the recent changes. And unawareness of recent changes may cause danger and harm to myself, and the individual I will be working with or surroundings.
