This quick guide, aimed at registered managers of care homes, covers policy and procedure requirements with the aim of creating and maintaining a positive safeguarding culture. Safeguarding adults in care homes means protecting their right to live in safety and acting to prevent abuse and neglect. The Care Act 2014 and its statutory guidance outline what safeguarding arrangements all organisations should have in place, including a policy and procedure that reflect the local safeguarding arrangements. Safeguarding in care homes should also be informed by the Making Safeguarding Personal framework.

Elder neglect is the one of the most pervasive forms of mistreatment, and often the only place outside of the individual’s residence to identify and assist neglected individuals is in a medical setting. However, elder neglect cases treated in hospitals do not present with a single diagnosis or clinical sign, but rather involve a complex constellation of clinical signs. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive guidelines on which clinical signs to use in screening tools for neglect among patients treated in hospitals. Using the DELPHI method, a group of experts developed and tested a scale to be used as a pre-screener that conceptually could be integrated into electronic health record systems so that it could identify potential neglect cases in an automated manner. By applying the scale as a pre-screener for neglect, the tool would reduce the pool of at-risk patients who would benefit from in-depth screening for elder neglect by 95%.

The introduction of the National Service Framework for Older People (2002) is the first national strategy to provide a framework for the provision of high quality care for older people, including people with dementia. The implementation of this policy and strategy requires a more skilled workforce. This handbook has been designed to raise the awareness of nursing and care assistants of various issues involved in caring for older people with dementia. It provides up-to-date information on dementia and its effects on the person and offers suggestions and practical tips for good practice. The training handbook contains six modules with case scenarios, a quiz, tips for good practice and training exercises.

This report makes use of local SSI inspection reports to connect findings on different inspection topics. It originates in the recognition that standards relating to the abuse of older people, both in their own homes and in residential settings, have been used in a range of inspections since 1994. The overall aim of the study is to examine the evidence about responses to the problem of elder abuse, as revealed in the SSI reports. The report then selects and analyses examples of good practice (focusing in particular on prevention and protection), summarises SSI findings, links the findings to the research literature, and makes suggestions for further research.
