| Annotation | The potential impact on families of a greater emphasis on safeguarding for vulnerable adults is explored. Case examples are used to illustrate some of the issues and problems that can arise in safeguarding situations. In community settings, there can be a tendency for social services to take antagonistic rather than a conciliatory approach when communicating with families. An example of the appropriate use of safeguarding in a care home setting is outlined. The authors argue that social services should take a more conciliatory approach and be prepared to work in partnership with families. The discursive format and narrative approach of this paper represents a useful and informative way of presenting important and topical insights. (RH). |
