Back in sunny April (!) we had the pleasure of attending the Safeguarding Adults Conference 2019. Held in London, at the Holiday Inn, Regents Park, the conference was a great opportunity to get up to speed on latest safeguarding updates and new legislation.


The conference lasted all day and included speakers form social care, safeguarding teams and the law. They covered such areas as latest policy; The Mental Capacity Act and proposed reform to DoLS; CQC inspections and Making Safeguarding Personal.


What is Safeguarding?


Safeguarding is the term used to cover the measures in place to protect the health, well-being and human rights of people. It means protecting people's rights to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. One of the key areas is about how organisations work together to prevent the risks. However, they must also consider the individual's wishes and beliefs.


Why is it important?


Abuse covers many areas including physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, organisational abuse and modern slavery. Therefore, it is essential that organisations who work with vulnerable adults have robust safeguarding procedures in place. They must work to ensure that abuse does not occur, however it is does they must also respond accordingly. Organisations that do not deal with safeguarding issues are at risk of failing to meet their duty of care, which could leave people at risk.


How can Pandora help?

However, this can be made much easier with the use of a database to ensure all information is kept in one place. Pandora Care Management System can create a safeguarding database exactly to your requirements, ensuring information is easily accessible, clear and concise. Having such a database will contribute to the safety of the people you care for.
