In the UK, the safeguarding of adults has a long history of neglect and scandal, but it is finally starting to gain the recognition it deserves. This book will help students and practitioners understand this evolving field and identify ways that they can develop their own practice in safeguarding adults. The first part of the book explores the evolution of concepts and policies in the UK, with particular reference to the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Capacity Act 2005. In the second section, the focus shifts to good practice in empowering vulnerable adults. The final section focuses on developing effective professional and inter-professional practice.
