Professional Curiosity

National Safeguarding Adults Week 2024

Monday 18th November - Look, Listen, Ask. Developing Professional Curiosity

Professional curiosity is the ability to explore and understand what is happening with an adult or family. It requires practitioners to act upon their safeguarding responsibilities rather than make assumptions or take matters at face value. A curious professional will enquire deeply by looking, listening, and proactively questioning and challenging all those involved.

Professional curiosity is an essential part of all Safeguarding Adult Reviews and audits, it is vital to safeguarding and the adult health and social care sector.
