Speaker(s): Professor Jill Manthorpe

In this presentation Professor Jill Manthorpe will outline some of the new subjects that are being taken up as safeguarding work and some of the longstanding subjects that are encountered in practice.

She will explore the changes that took place under the Care Act and whether these appear to have been minor or major. Jill will draw on the Social Care Workforce Research Unit's studies of adult safeguarding over the past 15 years to think about links between policy, practice and research.
