• The Government’s policy objective is to prevent and reduce the risk of significant harm to vulnerable adults from abuse or other types of exploitation, whilst supporting individuals in maintaining control over their lives and in making informed choices without coercion.
• The Government believes that safeguarding is everybody’s business with communities playing a part in preventing, detecting and reporting neglect and abuse. Measures need to be in place locally to protect Those least able to protect themselves. Safeguards against poor practice, harm and abuse need to be an integral part of care and Support. We should achieve this through partnerships between local organisations, communities and individuals.
Government Policy On Adult Safeguarding

The State’s role in safeguarding is to provide the vision and direction
and ensure that the legal framework, including powers and duties, is
Is clear, and proportionate whilst maximising local flexibility.
We need local authorities and local multi-agency partnerships to
provide leadership in moving to less risk-averse ways of working, and
to concentrate on outcomes instead of focusing on compliance.
These solutions will be different in different places, reflecting, for
example, local demographics and environmental characteristics.
However, they should all reflect the key Principles.

Principles
• Empowerment - Presumption of person led decisions and informed consent.

These Principles are not separate but integral to wider Government policy.
Links to:-No Secrets • This document builds on “No Secrets”, which will remain as statutory
guidance until at least 2013.
• In the principles described above, we have taken account of the responses to the public consultation on “No Secrets” in 2008/09, the implementation of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the drive towards increasing personalisation of services.
• The Government intends to seek to legislate for Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs) Making existing Boards statutory, while maintaining their freedom to operate in locally flexible ways, will secure a transparent and locally accountable mechanism for local communities to ensure the protection of vulnerable adults.

• Research commissioned by the Department of Health has shown that specific legislation for statutory Safeguarding Adults Boards would help to hold agencies accountable in ways which guidance, differentially binding on the partners, has not so far been able to do. Such a move is widely supported by stakeholders.
• The Law Commission has now published the
final report of its review of adult social care law and has recommended making SABs statutory.

E-learning for GP’se-learning was introduced to GP’s surgery in the North of the county where referrals are generally low. This was abig success where we had 80% uptake and only two staffhave not yet completed the e-learning course. Feedback was “that it was a good way to learnespecially if you could not access face to face training”.“That it was a good way to take your time and not feelrushed” “as part of a large group not feeling that youmight get an answer wrong and look silly”.“Support was always at the end of the telephone”.

Abuse is abuse is abuse – we need to start telling it
like it is.
The message needs to get out there whether it is
supported by legislation or not that abuse will not be
tolerated regardless of who the abuser might be.
Doing NOTHING is not an OPTION
Safeguarding is Everybody's Business!
