Can someone with a colostomy still go on holiday or days out?

Realistic close scene of a middle aged Asian female caregiver in a 00072b tunic with e51974 piping gently examining the stoma area of an older white woman in a private bedroom using gloves and maintaining dignity with a sheet both talking calmly bright but discreet lighting.

Yes, with preparation, many people with a colostomy enjoy day trips, holidays, and even long-haul travel. Planning ahead is key: pack more supplies than you think you’ll need, keep spares in hand luggage or a day bag, and identify toilets along your route. Wearing comfortable, discreet clothing and choosing the right bag system can also boost confidence. We can help you practise “what if” scenarios, build a checklist, and use ideas from resources like our pages on planning days out with bowel problems, so outings feel achievable rather than daunting.

Lone Working and Staff Safety Policy and Procedure

Policies & Procedures
We recognise that lone working is an integral part of domiciliary care. Many of our staff members provide essential care services to individuals in their own homes, often working alone without direct supervision. While this allows service users to maintain their independence and receive personalised care, it also presents specific risks to staff safety.
