Safeguarding adults: lessons from the murder of Steven Hoskin

Steven Hoskin had learning disabilities and lived alone in St Austell. He was tortured and murdered by people who targeted him because of his learning disabilities. Investigations showed that Steven had made numerous calls to a number of agencies, including the police, health and social care services, so they should have been aware that he was in danger. Following the serious case review into Steven’s murder there have been significant improvements in communication, information sharing and partnership working between the agencies in the area. Staff training has also been improved. The police have introduced a ‘neighbourhood harm register’ which ensures that an alert is raised when there are repeat calls from the same people with the same problems. In such cases, data is shared with the appropriate agencies and they work together to provide a joint response. Similarly, a system for recognising and responding to ‘cluster calls’ has been developed within the ambulance service. The video demonstrates that partnership between agencies and sound information sharing procedures are vital to the safeguarding of adults.
