Vulnerable adults who choose to remain in harmful situations can often find their cases closed. Central Bedfordshire Council is pursuing a new approach to respond to complex safeguarding situations, that involve family members, or other members of the person's network and do not meet the criminal threshold for police intervention. The network meeting pilot draws on the principles of family group conferencing, keeps the vulnerable adult at the centre of all decisions and moves away from the care management approach. Five separate cases are used to illustrate how the approach has helped in different ways. The pilot is one of the social work practice pioneer pilots funded by the Social Care Institute for Excellence.
