| Annotation | The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) has analysed evidence from inspections and other sources across councils, care homes, home care agencies and other social care services in England, to ascertain the responsiveness of safeguarding arrangements and the effectiveness of strategies to prevent abuse. This study reports on people's experiences of arrangements to safeguard them from abuse, and the quality of support and care practice. Overall, the study found variability in the quality of support, and that in the participant councils, annual increases in referrals ranged from 10% to 150%. The report comments on ways in which councils, care providers and the regulator check how well arrangements work to safeguard people from abuse, and how they then make improvements. It also looks at the strategic work of councils and local partnerships in responding to and preventing abuse. Conclusions are drawn on how safeguarding arrangements could be strengthened and improved, at local and national levels. (RH). |
