National Safeguarding Adults Week starting Monday 16th November
2020
Each day of the week the Ann Craft Trust will
focus on a different safeguarding theme. These themes are broad, and
each one covers many different areas of focus and their aim is to
highlight certain causes, and to start some vital conversations.
Monday 16th November – Safeguarding and Wellbeing There’s
a strong link between safeguarding and mental and physical
wellbeing. In short, if someone’s wellbeing is suffering, they may
consider certain actions that put them at risk. We’ll fully explore
this link between safeguarding and wellbeing. We’ll also share
advice and resources that’ll help you keep your wellbeing in check,
and to look out for your friends, your family, and others.
Tuesday 17th November – Adult Grooming Grooming is a form of
abuse that involves manipulating someone until they’re isolated,
dependent, and more vulnerable to exploitation.
We’ve already produced a short introduction to this issue. But
we’ll be exploring the topic of adult grooming in greater depth in
the coming months.
Wednesday 18th November – Understanding Safeguarding
Legislation All
safeguarding matters are governed by certain legislation, including
The
Care Act and
The Mental Capacity Act. In the resources section of our site,
you’ll find an overview of
numerous relevant laws and initiatives. But how well do you
really understand safeguarding legislation? In the coming months we
aim to demystify safeguarding legislation with primers, resources,
and more. And during Safeguarding Adults Week 2020, we’ll focus on a
major change to safeguarding legislation –
the transition from DoLS to LPS.
Thursday 19th
November – Creating Safer
Places
This is a focus on safeguarding at a grassroots level.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. So we’re looking at ways
everyone, from all walks of life, can help make the places they
live, work and play safer for everyone. We’re asking you to
consider: “What’s my role in safeguarding?”
Friday 20th November –
Organisational Abuse Organisational abuse includes neglect
and poor care practice within a specific care setting. This could be
a hospital or a care home, but also the care you receive in your own
home.
We’ve already prepared a short primer to organisational abuse.
During safeguarding adults week, we’ll take a closer look at the
Transforming Care agenda. We’ll also share the results of certain
new studies of abuse in care settings.
Saturday 21st
November – Safeguarding
Adults in Sport and Activity
Safeguarding Adults in Sport and
Activity remains one of our three main areas of focus as a charity.
Once again, we’ll devote a day of Safeguarding Adults Week to all
things sport and activity. We encourage sport and activity
organisations across the nation to get involved! Together, we can
make sport and activity safer and more accessible for everyone.
Sunday 22nd November – Safeguarding in Your Community
The overriding theme of Safeguarding Adults Week 2020? We all have a
responsibility to be there for each other, and to look out for each
other. On the final day of the week, we aim to organise small coffee
mornings and virtual events across the country. We want communities
to come together and to recognise our shared responsibilities
towards keeping each other safe.
