Coventry’s safeguarding board has prioritised three areas for action in its drive to develop excellent safeguarding practices in the city.
This follows publication last December of the Care Quality Commission’s annual performance ratings in which Coventry’s adult social care services were rated as performing well for safeguarding as part of the ‘maintaining dignity and respect’ outcome.
The priorities are to:
• use personal stories to shift attitudes and drive practice change
• continue to improve multi-agency and partnership work
• continue to ensure users are at the heart of all safeguarding work undertaken.
Director of Community Services, Brian Walsh, said: “the priorities were identified at our recent Safeguarding Adults Board away day. We implemented a programme of significant change and development last year, and this resulted in a positive rating from CQC.
“We will now build on these achievements by focusing on three areas for action to ensure vulnerable people in our city are safeguarded from abuse.”
