The Care Act 2014 has been criticised for the lack of a clear process
for professionals to follow. With its emphasis on the personal
individual approach to safeguarding, professionals have sometimes felt
unclear as to how they should deliver safeguarding support.
Written by a practitioner, with an academic background, Safeguarding
Adults Together seeks to provide that vital guidance. Whilst there is
an absence of process in the Act, there is still a clear set of
safeguarding elements which when put together provide a framework of
operation for professionals to become more effective in their
safeguarding practice. Professionals tend each to look at a particular
aspect of safeguarding, but it is only when the whole framework is
demonstrated can practitioners understand how they can best provide good
safeguarding support to adults who need their help. This book provides
the reader with that knowledge and understanding about how adult
safeguarding works by translating the Care Act into practice.
This is a follow book to the successful The Social Worker's Guide to the
Care Act 2014 by Pete Feldon ISBN 9781911106685.
