Safeguarding Adults Multi Agency Information Sharing Agreement

The Care Act 2014 statutory guidance states that all organisations must have arrangements in place which set out clearly the processes and principles form sharing information between each other, with other professionals and the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB). By signing up to this agreement the relevant Signatory Organisations are recognising that work together and sharing information effectively is imperative to safeguard those that are at risk or pose a risk to themselves or another, and to prevent, detect and prosecute offences against adults at risk. This agreement formalises the processes and principles for sharing information between each other, with other professionals and any other relevant parties.

Haringey Multi-Agency Self-Neglect and Hoarding Procedure 2019-2022

The Care Act 2014 has made self-neglect a category of harm about which the Local Authority, in conjunction with local partners, has a duty to make enquiries and assess need with the promotion of well-being at the heart. The purpose of this document is to set out the procedure and guidance for organisations which may come across a resident of Haringey who self neglects or hoards. It provides support to practitioners in the engagement of customers and the management of risk. Multi-agency partnership working is key to engaging with adults that self-neglect or hoard.

Joint Establishment Concerns Policy and Procedures

The Joint Health and Social Care Strategy has been developed as a means for managing large scale investigations of Care Providers. It is a response to the concerns raised in Serious Case Reviews (SCR) about the quality of care and safety of people, most recently the South Gloucestershire report on Winterbourne View Private Hospital, and the Francis Report on the failings found at Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust. It is not however exclusive to the findings and recommendations of these reports. It has also taken forward the organisational learning from other SCR’s, management investigations, commissioning accreditation findings and safeguarding investigations managed by the lead agency for safeguarding.

Haringey Adult Safeguarding Prevention Strategy 2017-20

The Strategy updates our previous Safeguarding Prevention Strategy to ensure compliance with changes and developments in safeguarding adults at risk. Within the strategy you will find full details of our role and responsibilities in safeguarding adults at risk and our proposals on how we do this. We want to support people to live as independently as possible with dignity and respect. We will help people to help themselves to take increasing responsibility for staying as active and as well as they can, for as long as possible, by ensuring easy access to a wide range of preventative and universal services and community resources. The Safeguarding Prevention and Training Development Sub-group will take the lead in the delivery plan.

Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group Pressure Ulcer Protocol and Pathway

This protocol provides a framework for health and care organisations to draw on when developing guidance for staff in all sectors and agencies that may see a pressure ulcer. If the staff member is concerned that the pressure ulcer may have arisen as a result of poor practice, neglect/abuse or an act of omission, the local guidance should be clear about what steps they need to take and whether the local authority safeguarding duties are triggered.

Managing Provider Failure and Other Service Interruptions Procedure

Sections 19 and 48 to 57 of the Care Act 2014 place a new temporary duty on local authorities to meet an adult’s care and support needs and a carer’s support needs when a registered care provider or agency becomes unable to carry on a regulated activity because of business failure. This procedure document explains what this duty means and Haringey Council’s approach to ensure that adults and carers are not left without the care or support needed if their care provider becomes unable to carry on providing it because of business failure.

Inter-Agency Haringey SAB Escalation Protocol

This protocol aims to support positive resolution of professional difference between agencies working to safeguard vulnerable adults in Haringey. Whilst there is generally a good working relationship between agencies and professional difference can be a driving force in developing practice, occasionally disagreements may arise which requires timely resolution so as not to delay decision making.

Latest developments on Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS)

In July 2018, the government published a Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill, which passed into law in May 2019. It replaces the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) with a scheme known as the Liberty Protection Safeguards. The target date for implementation is October 2020. Prior to then, a revised MCA Code of Practice will be published, which, the sector trusts, will bring clarity to some outstanding questions about how LPS will work in practice. The DoLS Procedure will be revised in line with the new LPS guidance when launched.

Multi-Agency High Risk Panel

The Haringey High Risk Panel (HHRP) was established to provide a multi-agency way of supporting work on complex and/or high risk cases, including but not limited to hoarding, fire risk, and self-neglect and includes near miss fire risk. The HHRP supports agencies in their work to lower and manage risk for both customers and their immediate neighbours, where risk might remain at a high threshold without collaboration available through a multi-agency approach. The panel has a consultative and advisory role and adheres to the confidentiality policy which governs the Haringey SAB.
