| Annotation | The Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) was commissioned by the Department of Health (DH) to undertake an analysis of local authority codes of practice for the protection of vulnerable adults (POVA). The research focused on three main areas of requirements and recommendations identified in the "No Secrets" guidance: strategies and plans; procedures and protocols; and guidance and information. The author outlines the methods used for his analysis, including the construction of a template against which codes could be evaluated. His findings reveal emerging trends that indicate a strong commitment to some areas of good practice, but that the many exceptions suggest there is no room for complacency. (RH). |
