Involvement is a key principle throughout safeguarding arrangements Sample Clauses

Involvement is a key principle throughout safeguarding arrangements. All organisations safeguarding arrangements and the local authorities procedures must describe how and when to involve the adult in their own safeguarding. The adult should always be involved from the beginning of the enquiry unless there are exceptional circumstances that increase the risk of abuse. Involvement may be supported by an independent advocate if the adult has substantial difficulty in being involved and where there is no other suitable person to represent and support them. Approaches described as “Making Safeguarding Personal” (MSP) are helpful in supporting the adult’s involvement. MSP approaches ensure that safeguarding is person-led and outcome-focused. The adult is engaged in a conversation about how best to respond to their safeguarding situation in a way that enhances involvement, choice and control as well as improving quality of life, wellbeing and safety. Discussion with the adult informs process and to some extent timescale of response. The wishes of the adult are very important, and attending to those wishes and preferred outcomes ensures a process that is about seeking to promote an adult’s rights as well as about protecting their physical safety and taking action to prevent the occurrence or reoccurrence of abuse or neglect. It enables the adult to understand both the risk of abuse and actions that she or he can take, or ask others to take, to mitigate that risk. The right to safety needs to be balanced with other rights, such as rights to liberty and autonomy, and rights to family life. All adults at risk of, or experiencing abuse or neglect, regardless of whether they have capacity or not, may want highly intrusive help, such as the barring of a person from their home, or a person to be brought to justice or they may wish to be helped in less intrusive ways, such as through the provision of advice of the various options available to them and the risks and advantages of these various options. Where an adult lacks capacity to make decisions about their safeguarding plans, a range of options should be identified, shared and discussed with the adult to enable them to remain in as much in control of their life as possible. Wherever possible, the adult should be supported to recognise risks and to manage them. Safeguarding plans should empower the adult as far as possible to make choices and to develop their own capability to respond to them. All safeguarding activity with adults who lack capacity must be underpinned by the principles...
