| Annotation | This paper explores the links between the Public Guardianship Office (PGO) and social services in relation to abuse and to local authority management of the finances of vulnerable people. It also reports a small-scale study of adult protection co-ordinators in social services departments (SSDs), which explored the nature of and contact between the two agencies in the context of adult protection inquiries. The authors explain how, as part of their care services, a number of local authorities act as receivers for their clients. (RH). |
