1 THE CARE ACT Including Making Safeguarding Personal

2 Three main things about safeguarding in the Care Act Local councils must look into concerns about safety Making Safeguarding Personal – listening to what people want to happen Set up a Safeguarding Adults Boards

3 The Care Act says……. We must take action if we think someone is in danger of being harmed

4 What kind of dangers? If somebody takes your belongings or money without you saying they can

5 If somebody hurts you

6 Treats you badly

7 If somebody harms you You still tell someone you trust

8 The Care Act says…….. We need to find out what people want to happen if they have been harmed So we can help people in the way they would want

9 Talking to people about what they want is now called Making Safeguarding Personal

10 We need to change how we work when we are helping people keep safe

11 A project took place to see if working differently would help councils keep people safe

12 11 councils took part to start with

13 We found out that asking people what they want when we start working with them is better than asking people how things went afterwards.

14 People want to feel more in control

15 Since the project went so well, more councils got involved and took part

16 The project has also helped other organisations, like the police and the National Health Service.

17 Clear rules…… Police Local councils Health service We must work together to keep people safe

18 If someone cannot speak for themselves……. The council must get an advocate to help that person make their wishes heard

19 The Care Act 2014 says… Every council must set up a Safeguarding Adults Board to improve the way we work and give better help to people.

20 Bournemouth & Poole Safeguarding Adults Board Police Health Services Local Councils Ambulance service Voluntary sector

21 Safeguarding Adults Boards is planning for next year…….. What things do you think should go in the plan to help keep people safe
