If this happens with something as simple as wearing your ID badge so patients know you are who you say you are then what other rules are being ignored by staff?

Neil, the patients knew exactly who I was. I wore
a name and designation badge. I just did not wear the photo ID...as I explained I considered it to be a risk when dealing with personal patient needs.
I had my name badge altered, the pin was removed and it was replaced by a stick pin type arrangement with a guard on the back.
Some rules can be bent without compromising safety.
My immediate manager knew of my infraction of the rules. She accepted my reasons as valid.
