Unit 3 Assignment 1

Safeguarding Adults Boards – raises awareness and promotes the welfare of vulnerable adults by the development of an effective co-operative. This group of people come from a wide range of public and voluntary services and other organisations and is committed to ensuring that the work done effectively brings about good outcomes for adults. It is an organisation that draws on expertise and experience from a number of sources. The Police – their role is to safeguard vulnerable adults, investigate all reports of vulnerable adult abuse and protect and uphold the rights of vulnerable adults. Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the regulatory board and their role is to monitor and provide guidance on what all health and social care providers must do to safeguard vulnerable adults from abuse.

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

xxxx takes all safeguarding issues very importantly. Whilst we may focus on vulnerable adults we do have young member of staff who would still be classed as children for Safeguarding purposes. We also have children who visit the home. We adhere that all staff on the premises are adequately checked at employment and we risk assess the adults who live within the home to the impact that they may pose to children on the premises. Sxxxxxx adheres to the 4LSCB procedures and we have a policy in place for the staff members to follow should they be worried about any child on the premises. A child’s safety is paramount and we have a duty to protect that child. Our staff members understand abuse, signs and

‘If I suspect abuse through noticing a sign of physical abuse or change in the behaviour of an individual, I will make sure that I ask the individual what has happened telling the individual the changes that I have noticed. If it is in my place of work and the name of the person that abused the individual is known, whether staff or another service user, I must also record and report this. I will listen to the individual carefully; it is up to them to tell me, I would not ask them any questions about this as this is not part of my job role and would stay calm.I will make sure that I record what the individual tells me using the individual’s own words. I will make sure that I reassure the individual and explain that their safety is the most important and that it is my duty of care to tell the manager. I will make sure that I let my manager know what has happened immediately and pass

At approximately 1040 hours, on 27-Jul-15, site security was dispatched by POC to attend Acute 3 for Domestic Dispute. The writer, S/O P.Jo, S/O A.Toor and S/O M.Moradi responded to the call and upon arrival the officers met with one of the clinical staff members, who informed the officers that a lady walked into the unit with two kids, one of the kids was about five year old and the other one was in stroller. The lady told the staff member that someone has been following her for three blocks and they need to call RCMP. After telling this the lady walked into the washroom with her kids, the clinical staffs ran after her and asked her to come out, but she didn’t listen and slammed the door on her face.

Upon arrival, I made contact with the complainant, who I identified as Rachel Switzer through a previous encounter. Switzer advised that moments before my arrival, she had taken place in a verbal argument with a male subject that was still inside his residence at the above address. I did not observe any physical injuries to Switzer. Switzer stated that the male subject had picked her up and brought her to his residence to spend time together. Switzer stated the argument was over her willingness to take a bath. Switzer advised that the male subject and her have dated in the past for a total of

The worker contacted Dana Kelly who is the mother of Christina Kelly. The worker asked Mrs. Kelly if she had any concerns for Christian Gorham the father of her grandson. “Mrs. Kelly stated “I’m concerned that Christian may be drinking and smoking pot again. Christian was pulled over in Woodward Ok and they found weed in his car while my grandson was in the car. According to the CPS worker who had picked up my grandson from the scene my grandson smelled like weed when she got him. I know Christian loves his son but Christian is immature, he doesn’t respect authority, and he has a bad temper. Christina won’t interact with Christian without another adult present because of his temper. The worker asked Mrs. Kelly if she knew of Domestic Violence

Furthermore, my experience at SCD has enhanced my protracted experience of working with vulnerable adults with complex social and mental health issues in custodial and community settings. This experience as a Psychologist has proven invaluable in making defensible safeguarding decisions at SCD. I learned to examine the issues, prioritise, look beyond the issues, formulate complex presenting issues and make defensible decisions against the current legislation. I have learned how record strong and accountable decision making against the legislation whilst maintaining secure and safe data protection in line with statutory and legal duties. My learning outcomes are the balancing act between of Human Rights Act the statutory duty of care and how to manage the ethical dilemmas in a high paced environment.

Unfortunately the police only done a written referral and did not do a safeguarding alert which requested a multi-agency meeting. I felt disheartened reading this as it is within the role of a multidisciplinary team to contact all other agencies within the team regarding the welfare of the patient. Failure to do so results in members of the inter agency team being left unaware of what is going on and can result in poor patient outcomes. This was a prime example of failure to communicate efficiently as a multi-agency team and develops an insight into the importance of team approaches which contribute to person centred and compassionate care. Dalphinis (2017) explains that where it is suspected that agencies involved in the care of an ‘at risk’ patient could have worked more effectively to prevent harm a safeguarding adult review (SAR) should be undertaken.

She said that this is an ongoing case in which a police officer and a detective have been involved as well. Ms Priyanee asked to please contact the CW Supervisor and ask to change the supervised visits by having a
