Description

Safeguarding Adults: Key Themes and Issues is an authoritative guide to contemporary adult safeguarding practice. Written by experts in the field, this comprehensive resource critically engages with recent developments and emerging approaches to safeguarding adults. The text explores key topics such as safeguarding adults who lack capacity or have unclear levels of capacity, common issues surrounding UK laws and policies for adults with mental health problems, and the perspectives of carers on older adult safeguarding. It also examines current limitations in practice, including the blurred boundaries between informal and legally mandated care. With engaging case studies to help readers apply their knowledge to everyday practice, this guide is essential reading for students and practitioners across a range of health and social care disciplines.
