It has taken 4 years of persistence and involvement of others with 'clout' and persistence to get any acknowledgement of substandard adult social services safeguarding. <br /><br />Bad and incompetent and seriously harmful acts (TO THE MOST VULNERABLE IN SOCIETY) are,from my experience, meted out at the hands of social services- but no where is this recorded, because as you say people have no where to complain or cannot trust the system 'of care' that is actually causing more harm than protecting.<br /><br />If more people join up as a force to take away safeguarding from social work as a system that protects its staff, then in time we may get the kind of general protection needed. Then only those cases where harm is / has been serious, as determined by the elders as the protected- not civil servants in the DoH, will be investigated and not by the persons working in the system itself, to avoid witch hunts.<br /><br />If the bad use of DOLs is anything to go by harm to the vulnerable is widespread by the 'protection machinery' itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-82136626539944131612013-07-25T10:49:41.716+01:002013-07-25T10:49:41.716+01:00SAFEGUARDING CONSTITUTES NEWS....
Where I live o...SAFEGUARDING CONSTITUTES NEWS....<br /><br /> Where I live one see's posters regarding Safeguarding and if one has concerns to report this to your local authorities Adult Social Care Team...<br /><br /> What if you have concerns regarding a professional in this field of work and you want to report a Safeguarding regarding this professional where do you go? At the moment one is directed to the perpetrators office???? <br /><br />One does not do this lightly as you must have evidence that coercion and intimidation has taken place.<br /><br />This does not give families the confidence to alert safeguarding concerns especially if the concerns are regarding the very professionals that one is supposed to trust.<br /><br />When you do make a Safeguarding concern it is poo poo'ed, and not taken very seriously.<br /><br />Surely, "What's good for the goose must be good for the gander??????"<br /><br />So please can we have a discussion about this?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-47255985500766834702013-07-18T18:00:56.960+01:002013-07-18T18:00:56.960+01:00great post; reminds us why the public's right ...great post; reminds us why the public's right to receive information is such a crucial part of ECHR Article 10.
