Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Training - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is considered a vulnerable adult under safeguarding legislation?
Under the Care Act 2014, a vulnerable adult is someone aged 18 or over who has needs for care and support, is experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect, and is unable to protect themselves due to their care and support needs. This includes people with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, or age-related frailty.
What is the difference between safeguarding concerns and safeguarding enquiries?
A safeguarding concern is any worry about an adult's welfare that suggests they may be experiencing abuse or neglect. A safeguarding enquiry (Section 42 enquiry) is the formal process local authorities must undertake when they have reasonable cause to suspect an adult with care and support needs is experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect.
How does the Mental Capacity Act relate to adult safeguarding?
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides the legal framework for making decisions on behalf of people who lack mental capacity. In safeguarding, it's crucial for determining whether someone can make decisions about their safety, ensuring any interventions are in their best interests, and respecting their rights to make unwise decisions if they have capacity.
What is 'Making Safeguarding Personal' and why is it important?
Making Safeguarding Personal is an approach that focuses on achieving meaningful outcomes for individuals rather than just following processes. It emphasizes the person's involvement in decision-making about their safety, respects their choices, and aims to improve their circumstances according to what matters to them personally.
When should adult safeguarding concerns be reported to the local authority?
Concerns should be reported immediately when you suspect an adult with care and support needs is experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect. Don't wait for proof or try to investigate yourself. Local authorities have a duty to enquire and can coordinate appropriate responses with other agencies to ensure the person's safety.
