Annotation	In the context of protection of vulnerable adults (POVA), existing social care education and practice relationships in Cardiff have been reviewed in various ways. These include: consultation with internal and external partner agencies; analysis of attendance and course evaluation records; trainer feedback; discussion with providers attending individual service user POVA meetings; and dialogue with members of the multi-agency Cardiff Area Adult Protection Committee (APC) and its sub-groups. The authors outline the issues raised, the outcomes and benefits of the education and practice partnership, and proposals for training to improve knowledge and awareness of POVA issues. The article includes responses from two adult protection managers, Tina Smith (Sandwell) and Sarah Bland (Shropshire), also Jill Manthorpe (Social Care Workforce Research Unit, Kings College London).
