Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults

A thorough examination of the latest developments and trends in safeguarding older people including Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), Mental Capacity Act and No Secrets Guidance Review

Introduction

This conference will aim to address how risk management can balance safeguarding against the rights of service users to maintain choice and independence. It will also provide an update to the No Secrets review and any associated legislation; an overview of vetting and barring procedures and best practice guidance on multi-agency working, advocacy, and respecting cultural diversity.
The government and courts are now putting more emphasis on effective safeguarding for adults. Attend this Community Care conference to learn how local authorities and other agencies can work together to adopt a more proactive policy to safeguard adults.
