Safeguarding adults should be at the heart of provision of domiciliary and residential care. There have been many enquiries in recent years where systems have been found not to be in place to ensure vulnerable people in care are protected from harm. The law and national policy around safeguarding can be complex, and is constantly subject to change. The Care Act 2014 will introduce new safeguarding measures. These are all reasons why it is essential for care homes and domiciliary care providers to understand procedures and have policies in place to ensure service users are protected and supported.
