Safeguarding
Safeguarding means protecting a person’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
Legislation such as the Care Act means you need to understand and develop your workforce in order to prevent abuse, and to recognise and respond effectively in order to safeguard adults at risk and improve outcomes for people who need care and support.
Our Guide to adult safeguarding covers the key aspects of safeguarding in your workplace. The guide features ten key points of adult safeguarding and provides details of where to find further information.
‘Good and outstanding care guide’
Skills for Care has launched a ‘Good and outstanding care guide’ to help employers thinking about what they can do to secure a good or outstanding rating when they are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Prompted by calls to their helpline Skills for Care asked organisations who are already rated good or outstanding what they do day in and day out to make sure they deliver good and outstanding person centred care. Those employers wanted to share their knowledge and experiences with others who aspire to improve their rating.
Making Safeguarding Personal
Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) is a sector led initiative which aims to develop an outcomes focus to safeguarding work, and a range of responses to support people to improve or resolve their circumstances. It is about engaging with people about the outcomes they want at the beginning and middle of working with them, and then ascertaining the extent to which those outcomes were realised at the end.
The work is supported by ADSS, the LGA and other national partners. The programme reports to the Towards Excellence in Adult Social Care Programme Board.
