Personalisation and safeguarding in Wolverhampton

An adult safeguarding DVD has been launched by Wolverhampton Safeguarding Adults Board at a workshop held to examine challenges and links between personalisation and safeguarding.

Participants included social workers, nurses, councillors, NHS and housing representatives.

The DVD will be used to raise awareness and for training purposes.

Other council initiatives include:
• contributions to regional work on safeguarding and personalisation through regional managers meetings
• working with doctors by displaying notices in GP surgeries, and acting as the main contact point for GPs and other health professionals seeking advice on safeguarding matters
• devising a set of Service User Standards for people on personal budgets
