'We've got 82 cases on the screening list': How social workers assess and manage adult safeguarding under the Care Act 2014' |
Adult safeguarding referrals have risen steadily since the introduction of the Care Act 2014. In this presentation I report on a research project across three local authorities in England including observations and interviews with 31 social workers. The presentation will focus on how social workers interpreted safeguarding duties as set out in the Care Act 2014. It will also focus on how risk was understood by workers, and which risks were prioritised during initial screenings and safeguarding enquiries.
