Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults A Shared Responsibility
Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults, A Shared Responsibility - Standards and Guidance for Good Practice in Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults
This publication contains the new standards and guidance for good practice in working with vulnerable adults. All organisations have a responsibility to ensure that their vulnerable service users are protected and this new publication will help your organisation to do this!
The publication contains 8 sections each containing a standard and supporting guidance:
Section 1: Developing a Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Policy and Procedure
Section 2: Recruitment and Selection of Staff and Volunteers
Section 3: Effective Management of Staff and Volunteers
Section 4: Recognising and Reporting Concerns
Section 5: Risk Assessment and Management
Section 6: Receiving Feedback and Dealing with Complaints
Section 7: Management of Records and Sharing of Information
Section 8: Developing a Code of Behaviour
Your organisation can download the supporting resource pack to use any of the templates included in the publication.
A safeguarding vulnerable adults self-assessment checklist can also be downloaded to help your organisation assess where it is in relation to each of the 8 safeguarding standards. The checklist will help your organisation identify criteria which are already being met and those that require further development.
The full document can be downloaded in full colour and easy print versions.
