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.

framework relevant to the area of adult protection work. The book
aims to broaden knowledge about legislation surrounding adult
abuse, such as The Mental Capacity Act 2007, assess alternative
models of practice such as criminal justice and welfare, and
provide guidance on the responsibility of various roles, from the
IMCA to the social care regulator. Issues covered include
confidentiality and information-sharing in adult protection work,
police systems and policy, capacity and financial abuse, advocacy
and the role of prosecutor. The book is illustrated throughout with
case studies and good practice points, and includes helpful

This is a practical and trans-disciplinary guide for professionals
working with vulnerable adults, who include the frail elderly,
those with mental-health problems or physical disabilities,
learning disabilites or serious physical illness.;The contributors
address key problems and dilemmas in working to protect these
groups from abuse, and to support those who have already
experienced abuse or neglect. They consider the procedural
implications of the latest Department of Health guidance on working
with vulnerable adults, and make practical suggestions for working
with both victims and abusers.;Highlighting the importance of
inter-agency working, the contributors show how the related fields
of child abuse, domestic violence and adult abuse can come together
to promote increased understanding and good practice. With its
emphasis on effective practice and contributions from social work,
general-medical practice, criminal justice and adult protection,
this collection should provide a useful resource for students,
practitioners, service managers and policy makers in all sectors.
