Good Practice in Safeguarding Adults provides an up to date and
topical overview of developments in policy, guidance, legislation
and practice in the area of adult protection. The book aims to
broaden thinking about adult abuse, assesses alternative models of
practice such as criminal justice and welfare, and covers groups
who may be overlooked, such as people with brain injuries, older
prisoners and adults within the black and minority ethnic
communities. Issues covered include domestic violence and
honour-based crime, abuse in institutions, financial abuse, and
risk assessment in adult protection. The book is illustrated
throughout with case studies, and also gives a voice to the victims
of adult abuse who can be forgotten in a working environment that
emphasises target performance, indicators, standards, star ratings,
paperwork and correct use of terminology. This book will be
essential reading for anyone working with vulnerable adults,
including social workers, care managers, care workers, health care
staff, police, probation officers, staff within the prison system,
advocates, volunteers, training officers and students.
Brain injury case management involves the care and support of
brain-injured individuals and their families in a range of areas,
from personal injury litigation to the planning of treatment and
therapy regimes. Good Practice in Brain Injury Case Management
provides a guide to effective case management, outlining all the
key issues that professionals working with brain-injured people
will need to know, from understanding what brain injury actually is
and how it feels to experience it to strategies for rehabilitation,
assessing risk and implementing support plans. The contributors are
drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including social work,
neuropsychology, occupational therapy and legal practice, and offer
information and advice in clear jargon-free. This is an essential
handbook for case managers and all other professionals working with
brain injured people.
