The safeguarding of vulnerable adults continues to increase in
importance. Safeguarding Adults and the Law, now in its second
edition, sets this complex area of work within an extensive legal
framework and provides many useful pointers for practitioners and
students. The book covers, for example, Department of Health
guidelines, human rights, the regulation of health and social care
providers, the barring of carers from working with vulnerable
adults, care standards tribunal cases, mental capacity, undue
influence, assault, battery, wilful neglect, ill treatment,
self-neglect, manslaughter, murder, theft, fraud, sexual offences,
data protection and the sharing of information. It focuses on how
these areas of law apply to vulnerable adults, and uses the large
body of case law to bring the law to life. Also covered is how
local authorities and the NHS are implicated in causing harm -
through abuse, neglect or omission - as exemplified by the
independent and public inquiries into the catastrophic events at
Stafford Hospital. This fully-updated second edition
comprehensively reflects recent changes to the law, and includes
many new case studies. It looks forward also to the implications,
for safeguarding, of the draft Care and Support Bill 2012. This
book will be an essential resource for all those working in
community care, adult social work, health care and housing. Those
working for local authorities, the NHS, voluntary organisations and
students will find it to be essential reading.
