The second edition of this best-selling book provides an essential guide to best practice in adult safeguarding. It has been updated to include recent legislative, guidance and research-based developments and relates them to useful practice examples.

Featuring new support materials and key case studies, it includes:

• a focus on working with marginalised groups under the safeguarding and prevention duties, including ‘transitional’ safeguarding;

• an exploration of best practice in light of changes to national guidance and research;

• findings from a range of Safeguarding Adults Reviews with reflections on the outcomes of two national (England) Safeguarding Review Audits; and

• an expansion of the concepts of professional curiosity and trauma-informed/-aware approaches.

Students and practitioners are guided to reflect on practice and to extend their skills, knowledge and values to become confident and competent in the complex area of adult safeguarding.
