NIHR Health & Social Care Workforce Research Unit

Adult safeguarding

Two ongoing projects at the Unit focus on self-neglect, which is classified as an adult safeguarding concern under the Care Act 2014. There have been recent analyses of Safeguarding Adults Reviews led by Caroline Green (mental health social care) and Stephen Martineau (homelessness). We also highlight selected other work on adult safeguarding undertaken by topic experts Jill Manthorpe, the late Martin Stevens, and Caroline Norrie.
