Safeguarding for commissioners

Two new guides offering information and advice on safeguarding people who live in residential and care homes, are available from the Social Care Institute for Excellence.

Produced to help NHS and local authority commissioners, the first guide, Safeguarding and quality in commissioning care homes, shows how safeguarding in care homes should be central to the commissioning process.
