Safeguarding is the multi-disciplinary work we do to minimise and manage risk to adults who may be vulnerable. It employs a framework which brings together all aspects of an investigation into an allegation of abuse against a vulnerable adult. For any safeguarding issue, we aim to involve the vulnerable person and offer them as much choice as possible. Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire have a multi-agency procedure for responding to suspected abuse of vulnerable adults. This means we have an agreement where organisations work together with the person who we think may be abused, to safeguard that person and take what actions we can.
The four steps involve identifying needs, assessing needs, delivering integrating services and reviewing progress to see if further action is needed. This assessment needs to be completed holistically and is designed to delivery coordinated service and review process. The CAF process is designed to be instigated when a practitioner has concerns about the progress of a young person, or if a child or carer raises a concern with a practitioner that their child’s needs are not being met by that service. As Brammer (2010) states, it is important for local authorities to uphold a partnership between the family and themselves. This is purely a voluntary basis and consent is mandatory.
Therefore, to protect them, they are kept away from mainstream society and excluded. * Rights: The medical model of disability believes that medical professionals know best. This means that therefore the rights of the individual are seen as unimportant and are pushed aside to follow the opinion of the medical professionals. * Autonomy: Decisions in health and social care services for people with disabilities are usually made by carers or medical professionals, as they feel they know what is best for the individual. Therefore, autonomy is not an important principle in the medical model.
They empower and support people to make their own choices. They investigate actual and suspected abuse and neglect or exploitation. They support adults who are at risk. 3.3 Identify reports into serious failures to protect individual from abuse. www.nursingtimes.net/nursingpractice-critical-report-of-castlebrook-abuse-failings www.bbc.co.uk.news/uk-winterbourneview-failed-to-protect www.cqc.org.uk/merseyside-care-home-failed-to-protect 3.4 Identify sources of information and advice about own role in safeguarding and protecting individuals from abuse.

This assignment will identify a vulnerable adult from my recent clinical experience. It will reflect on the physical, social, environmental and psychological factors that contributed to her vulnerability and discuss how they were addressed in practice. To maintain confidentiality, in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s code of professional conduct (2008), the name of the person, hospital and the trust have been changed. The Lord Chancellors department (1997) defines a vulnerable adult as “a person over the age of 18 years, who is, or may be in need of community care services, for reasons of mental health, disability, age or illness and is, or may be unable to take care of, or protect themselves from harm or exploitation.” Vulnerable groups are often described as being those at risk of poor, physical psychological and social health, therefore we are all at risk of becoming vulnerable at some point in our lives. Groups that have a higher risk of becoming vulnerable include, children, people with learning and physical disabilities, people suffering with mental health problems, chronically ill people and the elderly.
