The Department of Health and Social Care has released a poignant document to remind us to Revisit Safeguarding Adults, now as we recover from the Covid-19 Pandemic. Within the guide it refers to the importance to visit adults and check on their wellbeing and it demystifies a number of things people can believe about safeguarding. It points us back to Making Safeguarding Adults Personal and social workers and practitioners are particularly reminded to assess safety risks with the adult and to talk through with them what outcomes they want to remain safer in future. See the Local Resources Tab for the full guide. Also available here: Revisiting Safeguarding Adults by the DHSC.
