What does “safeguarding adults at risk” mean?
So what does safeguarding mean to those who use education, health and social care services? Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. Safeguarding is fundamental to high-quality health and social care services.
What does safeguarding mean for people who use health and social care services?
Safeguarding adults includes:
- Protecting their rights to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
- People and organisations working together to prevent the risk of abuse or neglect, and to stop them from happening.
- Making sure people’s well-being is promoted, taking their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs into account.
We help to safeguard adults by:
- Using the information we receive (mainly when concerns are raised about abuse, harm or neglect) to look at the risks to people who use care services.
- Referring concerns to local councils and/or the police for further investigation.
- Carrying out inspections, where we talk to people who use services to help us identify safeguarding concerns.
- Publishing our findings on safeguarding in our inspection reports.
- Taking action if we find that care services don’t have suitable arrangements to keep people safe.
- Working with partners such as the police, local councils, health agencies, other regulators and government departments.
- Taking part in multi-agency safeguarding inspections to get a picture of service users’ experiences and how well they are being safeguarded.
Who is responsible for identifying and dealing with abuse?
Adult abuse is defined as a single or repeated act or lack of appropriate actions, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to a vulnerable person.
Safeguarding adults is about protecting those at risk of harm. It involves identifying abuse and acting whenever someone is being harmed. The Department of Health defines a vulnerable adult as a person aged 18 years or over who is or may be in need of community care services by reason of mental or other disability, age or illness, and who is or may be unable to take care of him or herself, or unable to protect him or herself against significant harm or exploitation
Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone, including all health workers. Anyone can raise a safeguarding concern. All allegations of abuse need to be taken seriously, whether made by a patient, carer, healthcare professional, or other service providers. Any concerns reported to a healthcare worker should be followed up by inquiries about the nature and circumstances of the allegation. It is essential to ask about the safety of the person when the allegation is raised and any support the person is already receiving.
