Publisher's Synopsis
Making Safeguarding Personal is a key practice principle that has been enshrined in the statutory guidance that must inform how local authorities and their partner agencies implement their adult safeguarding powers and duties introduced by the Care Act 2014. In summary the practice principle requires that the adult at risk of abuse or harm be as fully involved as possible in the discussions, assessment, planning and intervention following an alert or referral. It requires that adult safeguarding should be person-led and outcome-focused, with the aim that any response to an alert or referral enhances their sense of choice and control as well as improves their quality of life, well-being and safety.
