Presentation transcript:

Why new procedures: For the first time the Care Act places a statutory responsibility for adult safeguarding on local authorities and places duties on others e.g. the police and health partners. The Act places a responsibility on local authorities to ensure enquiries into abuse and neglect are undertaken (section 42). The new guidelines have been revised to incorporate this new legislation as well as enshrining personalisation into our safeguarding systems.

What has changed? The safeguarding process is now Care Act compatible incorporating the legal requirement to ensure that Section 42 enquiries are undertaken There is a general lay out change with the first section of the guidelines highlighting making safeguarding personal and ensuring the adult is at the centre of the safeguarding enquiry A full list of the updated Abuse types list as revised in the Care Act A minor change in the process being stages 1, 2, 3 & 4 rather than SETSAF 1, 2, 3 & 4 – this is a change in name only, the process for completing a safeguarding enquiry is largely the same Guidance on new statutory guidance for the provision of advocacy services.

What’s new? Section 1 This section sets out the vision of the three SET (Southend, Essex and Thurrock) local authorities. It sets out guiding principles that SET believes all staff involved in safeguarding should follow as set out in the Care Act and lists the eleven abuse types that are set out in the Care Act statutory guidance. Additional new areas within this section are Advocacy, Supporting Families and Safeguarding responsibilities for prisoners

What’s new? Section 2 This section covers everyone’s roles and responsibilities in safeguarding; highlighting what should be achieved by adult safeguarding and how the person should be the centre of staff members approach. There is a new table which shows the roles of different agencies and organisations and what is expected of them. Section 3 & 4 These are short synopses for definitions of the new abuse types and information sharing, both have links to more detailed information in the appendices

What’s new? Section 5 This section covers the 4 stages of the safeguarding process it includes flowcharts and timescales for each of the stages. There is no fundamental change to the processes to those previously used; there are however changes that ensure the section is compatible with new legislative requirements.
