| Annotation | This guidance addresses the need for the development of local multi-agency codes of. practice based on a consistent framework for the protection of vulnerable adults across Wales. These should be co-ordinated locally by each local authority social services department but will also involve the police service, the health service and will be of interest to the independent sector. These policies should also take account of the measures to provide greater protection to vulnerable or intimidated witnesses in the criminal justice system, as recommended in 'Speaking up for Justice'. That report recognised the need to improve the identification and reporting of crime against vulnerable adults in care settings and agrees that this can best be tackled through multi-agency working. This approach has been endorsed by the Home Office. The 2003 update includes sections on financial abuse and adult protection monitoring, and the Care Standards Inspectorate for Wales' (CISW) procedure for responding to the alleged abuse of vulnerable adults (replacing Appendix 3 in the 2000 guidance).
