Featuring new support materials and key case studies, it includes:
a focus on working with marginalised groups under the safeguarding and prevention duties, including ‘transitional’ safeguarding;
an exploration of best practice in light of changes to national guidance and research;
findings from a range of Safeguarding Adult Reviews with reflections on the outcomes of two national (England) Safeguarding Review Audits; and
an expansion of the concepts of professional curiosity and trauma informed/aware approaches.
Students and practitioners are guided to reflect on practice and to extend their skills, knowledge and values to become confident and competent in the complex area of adult safeguarding.
