Working in Partnership
National Safeguarding Adults Week 2024
Tuesday 19th November - Working in Partnership: How to work effectively with the people you support
‘Making Safeguarding Personal’. ‘Person-centred practice’. ‘Co-production’. Each of these approaches focuses on working in partnership with people who use services. It's important we embed these approaches successfully in everyday practices and service design.
The Herbert Protocol
Herbert’s story is the essence of partnership, local services and people working together to support Herbert in his community. From this the Herbert Protocol was developed to help find people who may go missing more quickly
Caring for vulnerable people, including those with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, can be challenging. There's a risk that they may at some point start to ‘walk about’. This could only be in to the garden or taking a walk on a familiar route but some people can get lost and go missing. The Herbert Protocol is a form that carers, family or friends of a vulnerable person, or the person themselves can fill in containing information to help the police find them if they go missing.
