D2 – evaluate the role of multi-agency working to reduce the risk of abuse of adults, with reference to legal frameworks, regulations, working strategies and procedures.

All adults who work within the secure care environment have a responsibility to themselves and Clayfields. We must exhibit a high standard of behaviour, both in 1:1 dealings with the young person/group, care affiliated professionals and the public, as our example of behaviour has a significant influence on the children’s behaviour. Good, strong teamwork between RCW's encourages good behaviour from the young people. Clayfields behaviour policy that staff should be aware of and adhere to; all new staff follow an induction programme to guarantee a dependable approach to behaviour

The main issues of public concern are centred on the abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults - whether they are elderly, people with disabilities, those suffering from dementia or other mental health problems.

P3: Explain factors that may influence communication and interpersonal interactions in health and social care.

Throughout this essay, the health, safety and welfare policy and practise that came about after the Victoria Climbie case will be reviewed and evaluated. After arriving in England in November 1991 from the Ivory Coast, eight-year old Victoria Climbie suffered abuse from her great-aunt, Marie-Therese Kouao, and her great-aunts partner. The anguish and eventual murder of Victoria in 2000 from hypothermia, caused by malnourishment and damp conditions, provoked ‘the most extensive investigation into the child protection system in British history’ as described by Batty (Macleod-Brudenell, 2004). The high media profiled incident exposed a clear lack of precision and communication between all professionals and agencies involved. This is shown by

Section 3 is entitled ‘A personalised Adult Social Care System’ and in subsection 3.3 it discusses ‘Systems which act on and minimise the risk of abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults, supported by a network of “champions”, including volunteers and professionals, promoting dignity in local care services.’. This is yet more important policy and guidance which focuses on policy developments in relation to the Safeguarding of vulnerable adults. Although at City Care Partnership we haven’t adopted the system of champions, it’s something that could be given future consideration as we look to improve our own systems. We do have something similar in the form of an organisational Safeguarding lead however, a

Adult safeguarding was defined as, a range of activity aimed at upholding an adult’s fundamental right to be safe at the same time as respecting people’s rights to make choices. Safeguarding involves empowerment, protection and justice. In practice the term “safeguarding” is used to mean both specialist services where harm or abuse has, or is suspected to have, occurred and other activity designed to promote the wellbeing and safeguard the rights of adults. Following the Civil Service rapid evidence assessment methodology1, having formulated the questions to be addressed by the review and developed a conceptual framework, inclusions and exclusion criteria were agreed. Articles published in 2002 or later, relevant to the review questions were included. Studies were excluded if they were not relevant, for example: health focused, concerned with children rather than adults. A wide range of databases, web-sites and grey literature were searched and screened, using search terms related to adult safeguarding, adult protection and workforce, staff and training. Experts in the field were also asked to identify relevant resources and guidance. Results Overall, much of the evidence on workforce and adult safeguarding is based on a limited number of studies and cases. Much of the work reviewed was of little specific relevance to the social care workforce. Most

The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 was the Government’s response to the Bichard Inquiry report which examined vetting procedures after the murders of ten-year-olds Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells in 2002. It establishes a new centralised vetting and barring scheme for people working with children.

With the intention of integrated care, ‘The Better Care Fund’ (DOH, 2014b) united health and social care budgets yet, left ‘unringfenced’, health services have been prioritised at the expense of Adult Social Care. Consequently, substantial funding gaps has forced financial constraints across the board within the Social Care Sector (The King’s Fund, 2015). In turn, this protocol creates a reverse economic effect as, denied of essential support, those most in need potentially require additional support to counteract the impact of increased risk and harm, and deteriorating wellbeing. This essay discusses how the duties and powers of Care Act 2014 keep people with care and support needs safer and better protected from harm and abuse by others, as well as addresses the factors which

Safeguarding vulnerable group act 2006 is an Act that protects vulnerable people from abuse. Legislation policies and procedures for safeguarding groups have made health and social care staff much more aware of what is regarded as abuse and how to identify that abuse may have occurred. This rule helps to know what to do and how to do it if you suspect any kind of maltreatment or abuse or if an individual tells you that they are being abused. (Stretch, Whitehouse, health and social care level 3 books 1 P105).

Mitigating victimisation risk can be achieved by increasing guardianship resources. For example, instaling more CCTV, increasing police presence and providing strong family support within communities. Clearly, in terms of rights and authority, the victimisation theory places them not with the victim but the aggressors and Guardians and social media as supported by Articles 3, 14 and 18). This causes a conflict of interest when safeguarding the welfare of the victim as in most cases the parent or guardian could be involved in the infringement or abuse of the child’s rights. Victoria Climbié abuse case prompted Lord Laming to name and shame authorities failure to communicate effectively (Every Child Matters 2004). The Welsh government approach to children and young adults would be complimented if their wish for devolving powers were granted. In quantitative terms the children and young adults in castration is lower than in the UK because of how they value young adults welfare by opting for restorative justice. The Welsh government’ commitment to a rights based welfare to protect children and young adults to serve their prison sentences in Wales as opposed to England. The Howard League 2008 recommends Camyru local authority for custodial of young offenders to prevent further suicidal
