Safeguarding Adults and the Law, now in its third edition, sets this complex area of work within an extensive legal framework and provides many useful pointers for practitioners and students. It is now in an A-Z format, enabling quick reference to a wide range of civil and criminal law, and to legal case law.

The book covers safeguarding duties under the Care Act 2014 and in particular the making of enquiries by local authorities, safeguarding adults boards, Department of Health guidance, human rights, regulation of health and social care providers, barring of carers from working with vulnerable adults, criminal records certificates, mental capacity, the High Court's inherent jurisdiction, undue influence, assault, battery, wilful neglect, ill treatment, self-neglect, manslaughter, murder, theft, fraud, sexual offences, modern slavery, domestic violence legislation, data protection and the sharing of information.

The book focuses on how these areas of law, each with its own set of rules, apply to the practice of safeguarding adults. It contains numerous legal case summaries to bring the law to life. Fully updated, it reflects significant changes to civil and criminal law over the last five years.

A critical introduction analyses serious challenges and issues inherent in the current culture of health and social care, and the implications for adult safeguarding.

This book will be an essential resource for all those working in social care, health care and the police, as well as the many other agencies involved in safeguarding.

Industry Reviews

Hendry and Hasler demonstrate how creative processes are interlaced with the neurodevelopmental lens of trauma, woven together by many hands of therapists, carers, professionals, organisations and schools. What emerges is an intricate tapestry with which children who have experienced trauma may be held, understood, and enjoyed, enabling new ways of relating and living in the world.
