In regards to breaching confidentiality- this is usually done in the case of public interest and there is a matter of life and death. -
Hi Vicky, more often Adults social care commission services (carers) from an agency to provide care for people. It is important to ensure that communication is passed via social services and other agencies, such as GPs etc

Hello James, good point to raise, but if this is an issue- I am sure IT would be able to help out and have IG training might also help when sharing sensitive information with other organisations

Well done for completing week 1 all. Its good to see very good interaction between yourselves. Looking forward to seeing you in week 2 and please do not hesitate to ask me any questions and also you have mentors on here to help, guide and support you throughout your three weeks learning :-)

Not at this stage, as this is a meeting that only healthcare professionals at a preliminary meeting- Police of course needs to be involved as a statutory partner when there is a full SAR meeting.
-
It is a good questioni Mohammed, but at the moment it is only a health professionals meeting and not a full SAR meeting where other statutory partners are inivited yet

@PervaizAnwar Hi Pervaiz, you will get the answer as you delve more into the training :-)

Hi Neil, you are absolutely right to be honest with the person that you cannot promise to keep important information to yourself but that you would need to share this information with another healthare professional such as your colleague, line manager. If the person has full mental capacity to understand the risks and concerns- you may not make a safeguarding...
-
Hello Susan, it is important to have a discussion with your colleagues, peers, line manager or the safeguarding adults lead- you may also need to discuss this with the VAWG (Violence against women and girls manager who is normally based at the Community Safety Partnerhip in the Local Authority- this is called vital interest-as you said, the person might fear...
-
Marino Latour replied to Sally Whittall
I agree that it would be great to have some feedback when you have raised a safeguarding concern- our role doe not end there- raising a concern and then forget about it. All organisations need to be able to share lessons learnt, recommendations from these safeguarding adults concerns raised through different methods, such as in peer supervision, team...
-
Marino Latour replied to Christine Crabb
Hi Christine, when in doubt do not hesitate to share your concerns with a colleague, manager or the safeguarding adults lead :-)
-
Absolutely Susan- it is a whole system approach when it comes to help and safeguarding very vulnerable people- to have opened dialogues with the service user and all parties involved is a very good start. Sharing of information with the service user's consent and involving the service user as in all decision making. Its not something that services can rush...
-
Dear Nadia and Anthony, if you are concern about passing information from hospital to GPs- this needs to be flagged up at a local level- so that both hospitals, GPs and Safeguarding adults in Local Authority are aware of any safeguarding concerns that need to be dealt with.
-
Marino Latour replied to Debbie Warner
Absolutely Debbie, as you said this is very though provoking scenario which is done deliberately to have meaningful debate and conversation around the subject- as the scenario although fictitious is based on fact and reality.

Thank you Rhoda- I think that this needs to be escalated to the Safegaurding Adults Board- via your Safeguarding adults lead, as getting feedback from the safeguarding team is very important for many reasons as primarily in MSP, outcomes of the safeguarding for the individual and how agencies work together to safeguard people,so that they dont fall through...

Thank you very much for your kind comments Helen :-)

Thank you Jacqui, as per my other comment above. You may also need to contact your Local Authority to ask for feedback adn progress of the safeguarding enquiry- as you or your colleague may be also called to attend the planning meeting with the Local Authority. Do you have a safeguarding committee in your organisations where you can discuss this in a quarterly...

Thank you Rhoda for your comment. You may need to contact the Local Authority safeguarding to ask for feedback of the progress of the safeguarding concern you have raised about the service user. You or your colleagues may be asked to attend a planning meeting.

@craigm Hello Craig, while I do acknowlede your concern and dilema whether to share or not, especially when a person has the mental capacity to refuse and engage with the safeguarding process. This is where safeguarding supervision comes into, discussing it with other safegurding colleagues or your line manager and to weight up the risks. But you may also need...

Hello Paul, thank you very much for this very helpful discussion about S251 of the NHS Act 2006.

Here is a 30 minutes module for GPs and all health care professionals about information sharing and how it is essential for effective safeguarding. It is a key factor identified in many serious case reviews (SCRs), where poor information sharing has resulted in missed opportunities to take action that keeps children and young people safe. The Data Protection...

With the new technology of MS Teams which is widely used to have meetings, I have used Teams to deliver some training to primary care teams and other people. Perhaps your safeguarding leads may be able to offer the half day training via Teams as an innovative way of providing face to face training. Remember that if you are doing other webinars and other...

Thank you all for all your positive and wonderful comments and your contributions in making this training alive with your discussions and some provoking thoughts

Hello Pierpaolo, I have met with a few GPs in their practices whereby they all share and discuss complex and safeguarding cases together. I am sure your practice will have a safeguarding lead? If not, it is beneficial to discuss those safeguardin cases with other colleagues and also dont hesitate to contact your Designated CCG safeguarding colleagues for...

Thank you for raising this Kathryn- good point that we were hoping that more people will pick on that and to create another healthy debate and discussion :-)

Marino Latour replied to Anshuman Ghosh
I just wanted to add that overall, an IMR report should:-
• set out clearly what issues contributed to the incident, why these problems occurred and what changes are required to prevent the threat, risks and harm by domestic abuse occurring in the future.
•include information about actions, which have already been taken in response to the case and the review... -

Some additional information about Individual Management Reviews (IMRs) when writing an IMR:-

2 Be specific on timings, terms such as "regular" and "timely" need to be clarified with a specific... -

Thank you Sunday. this is a very valid point. As an example, recently I have been involved in a SAR whereby there has been a lack of communication between cross agencies between different London boroughs, in that a person has been moved from borough to borough and from hospital to hospital, and information sharing between boroughs have been lost despite...

hello Foteini- thats really good that its provoking some reactive thoughts. I can assure you that it is not a bad script, this video and characters have been done purposely to create meaningful debates and discussions :-)

Hello all, its a very good question that you are asking where is the police in all of this? I will put the question back to you...why do you think the police is not represented in this meeting here?

Marino Latour replied to Fay Hartley
That is an excellent point Fay- I would like to see a bit more discusion about this. Do you or a representative attend the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking group in your area?
-
Marino Latour replied to Fay Hartley
This is where communication in between agencies and local authorities is very important, so that people do not fall into the net
-
Hi Fay, this depends on your local area- they have a National Safeguarding lead but also local safeguarding leads that cover your lcoal area(s)

That;s great Rebecca, without giving much away too soon, you will learn more about professional curiosity as you delve more into the training

Marino Latour replied to Penelope Heywood
Thank you Penelope for bringing this up. It is absolutely important that GPs to attending safeguarding adults meetings s they also have a lot to contribute. You are right to say that unfortuntely not a lot of GPs have been able to fully participate in those meetings. Having a multi agency representative is vital in decision making collectively to help the...
-
Marino Latour replied to Helen Hurst
Hi Helen, safeguarding supervision could be done in various ways. it does not have to be formal- discussing complex safeguarding issues with a safeguarding lead to guide and support you either face to face or via telephone conversation is a form of safeguading supervision. but I am glad that you are felt supoprted by your safegarding lead.

Marino Latour replied to THOMAS ENOCH
Hi Thomas, I hope you have learnt that a safeguarding supervisor's role is not to give orders. I hope that you are receiving safeguarding supervision in your work place and that you may also be able to give supervision to others.

Hi Alan, at this stage, its only Health professionals who were involved in Sophia's case, but for sure the police will be involved when a SAR meeting is held with the relevant Local Authority

Hi Anandh, it will be good for you to discuss safeguarding concerns wtih your peers in group supervision or with your safegauding GP/Dr lead in yoru practice

Hi Andrew, thank you for this. It would be good for you to share your experience in safeguarding overseas with colleagues and what are the differences that you have encountered. It is a very valid point

Hello all, I am glad to read that you have all found it very useful to have an example of a chronology for a statutory review (DHRs or SARs)
