identify national policies and local systems that relate to safeguarding and protection from abuse

[Aunty Sue]

Hi demishilton,

The Government introduced guidance called 'No Secrets' in 2000, which sets out how the authorities - including health and social care professionals, the police and criminal justice agencies - should work together to reduce the risk of abuse occurring, and to intervene to protect people when abuse does happen.

See here for No Secrets:

However, this is under review.

For local systems see your own local authority's website - look for 'safeguarding adults'. Also see your setting's policies.

Hope that helps
