Safeguarding Adults in Social Work

This fully-revised second edition looks at how social work practitioners and students can achieve best practice when working with vulnerable adults. The first part of the book explores the evolution of concepts and UK policies for safeguarding adults, with particular reference to the UK's 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 an effective professional and inter-professional practice.
