Protecting Vulnerable Adults from Abuse in Social Care

Protecting Vulnerable Adults from Abuse in Social Care

The Home Office acting in conjunction with the Department of Health produced "No Secrets". This offered "Guidance on developing and implementing multi-agency policies and procedures to protect vulnerable adults from abuse". This course uses the suggestions made in "No Secrets" as a foundation for building a more detailed study of this area of Social Care.

It incorporates new Common Law practices and reflects the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act, 1999; "Achieving Best Evidence in Criminal Proceedings." and "Making Decisions". It also recognises an important developing role of "Age Concern" as a support body for vulnerable older people.
