Identifying & dealing with Safeguarding issues & avoiding Court of Protection litigation
Our team has been dealing with safeguarding adults at risk cases for over 13 years, but it is only since the introduction of the Care Act 2014 in April 2015 that safeguarding has been on a statutory footing.

9 年Thank you Andy Riddle, yes I think you are right. It would be nice if Health & Social Services could have a more open mind about care planning, but a closed mind about what vulnerable people should be subjected to. The line on what is acceptable treatment and what is not, should be just as clear for vulnerable adults as it is for everyone else!

9 年Well written post Chloe Smith. Unfortunately I suspect that we will be seeing a lot more safeguarding issues like the ones raised in your blog.
