Safeguarding Adults in Social Work

"Safeguarding adults has a long history of neglect and scandal, but it is finally starting to gain the same recognition as the need for child protection. Legislation, such as, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005, together with policy initiatives like 'No Secrets' (DoH 2000) and the Safeguarding Adults National Framework of Standards (ADSS 2005) have provided the impetus for safeguarding vulnerable adults to finally be taken seriously. This book helps students and practitioners understand this evolving field and identify ways they can develop their own good practice."--BOOK JACKET.
