| Annotation | Many agencies are becoming involved in adult protection, and this article considers the service delivery options that will allow for successful forward planning and an effective application of resources. It suggests a framework for social services as the lead agency to co-ordinate the process for dealing with allegations of abuse. The aim of the framework is to establish how best to manage cases involving the alleged abuse of vulnerable adults. An analysis is provided of three alternative organisational models for dealing with referrals and investigations. The discussion also proposes different sets of arrangements for achieving effective multi-agency working. (RH). |
