About the event

Adult safeguarding can raise significant legal and ethical dilemmas, sometimes in circumstances where the stakes for the adult concerned are high.
  

It is important for practitioners to be confident in the way they understand and apply the law when it comes to adult safeguarding, and our legal masterclass will help you achieve this.
  

The day’s sessions will examine:

  • The legal framework surrounding adult safeguarding.

  • Lessons for practice from the second national analysis of safeguarding adult reviews.

  • What the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court can and cannot do in relation to safeguarding adults.

  • The challenges that arise when assessing capacity in safeguarding cases.

  • The law around safeguarding referrals that feature self-neglect and hoarding.
