1.1Analyse the differences between the concept of safeguarding and the concept of protection in relation to vulnerable adults Safeguarding: 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. Vulnerable adult A vulnerable adult is someone aged 18 or over: • Who is, or may be, in need of community services due to age, illness or a mental or physical disability • Who is, or may be, unable to take care of himself/herself, or unable to protect

Unit 514: Safeguarding and Protection of Vulnerable Adults Outcome 1: Understand the legislation, regulations and policies that underpin the protection of vulnerable adults According to the Children Act of 1989 and the Joint Chief Inspectors Report on Arrangements to Safeguard Children (2002), Safeguarding means: “Agencies (organisations) working with children and young people take all reasonable measures to ensure that the risk of harm to the individual’s welfare are minimised; and where there are concerns about children and young people’s welfare, all agencies (and organisations) take all appropriate actions to address those concerns, working to agreed local policies and procedures, working in partnership with other local agencies.” Meanwhile, according to Department of Health, Vulnerable Adults refers to a person who: “may be in need of community care services by reason of mental or other disability, age or illness; and who is or may be unable to care for him or herself, or unable to protect him or herself against significant harm or exploitation.” (DOH, 2000, pp. 8-9) Safeguarding means proactively seeking to involve the whole community in keeping the individual safe and promoting their welfare. It is an important part of integrated working. When professionals work together in an integrated way, they put the individual at the centre of all activities to help identify their holistic needs earlier to improve their life outcomes. It is important to see safeguarding as part of a continuum, where prevention and early intervention can help children, vulnerable adults and families get back on track and avoid problems turning into a crisis.

Safeguarding Adults Boards provide vital leadership to those involved in adult safeguarding work across the full range of safeguarding issues. These range from serious incidents in hospitals and institutional abuse in care settings to financial abuse and “scams”, bullying and victimisation. Speaking at the Capita Conference on Adult Safeguarding, Mr Burstow will also outline the new Government guiding principles on safeguarding which seek to increase the protection for those most at risk in society. The principles outline the Government’s objective to prevent and reduce the risk of harm to vulnerable people and set out the key issues, which must inform local arrangements including: * Empowerment – supporting people to make decisions and have a say in their care; * Protection – support and representation for those in greatest need; * Prevention – it is better to take action before harm occurs; * Proportionality – safeguarding must be built on proportionality and a consideration of people’s human
Unit Title: Promote Positive Behaviour (329) Outcome 1 – Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practise and policies relate to positive behaviour support. 1.4 Explain who needs to be informed of any incidents where restrictive interventions have been used. People who need to be informed should the need for restrictive interventions be used are:- * Managers * Family * Social worker * GP (where needed) * Others in the Positive Behaviour Team, (psychologists etc.) Outome 2 – Understand the context and use of proactive and reactive strategies. 2.1 Explain the difference between proactive and reactive strategies.
This means an unintended or unexpected incident which results in moderate harm, severe harm, prolonged psychological harm or death, where death relates directly to the incident. Providers of Adult Social Care are required to use the existing CQC notifiable requirement “for serious injuries” (under regulation 18 of the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009) to identify when a disclosure under the Duty of Candour is required. How are CQC likely to enforce the duty of candour requirement? CQC will look at the duty in the context of the “well-led” key question but also the “safety” key question (“Are lessons learned and improvements made when things go wrong?”) The guidance for Healthcare picks out specific and helpful guidance from the Being Open Framework (2009) in terms of how organisations can become compliant. This includes the need to obtain board level commitment, creating a culture of safety and ensuing that staff are appropriately trained in the duty.
UNIT 11, Assignment 2 – Safeguarding Adults and Promoting Independence P4 In this task of the assignment, I will be outlining the importance of legislation and regulation that governs safeguarding adults work. On top of this, I will be also outlining the working strategies and procedures used in health and social care to lessen the dangers of abuse within an establishment. The meaning of a vulnerable adult us when an individual at the age of 18 years and above who is or might require community support facilities or is a resident in an ongoing care service with the reason of having a mental or other disability, old age or illness or even someone who are not capable to look after him or herself, as well as not being capable to protect themselves from major danger or mistreatment. Legislations and regulations: The purpose of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act is to control connection amongst children and vulnerable adults as well as those who may perhaps harm them. This act was carried out in October 2009, as the government is presently monitoring the proposal programme for other areas of the Act, such as establishments wanting the employees to become as an ISA registered.
