Provides busy social work and health care practitioners with an accessible guide to adult safeguarding in the context of mental capacity and financial abuse. Drawing on evidence and contemporary examples from practice this book will help readers understand the new landscape of safeguarding adults since the implementation of the Care Act 2014 and the introduction of Adult Safeguarding Boards. There are chapters on the current political landscape of adult social work, specific issues and contexts that make people vulnerable (social isolation, mental capacity, dementia), and important methods of assessment and intervention. A range of pedagogical features are also used to aid learning and understanding including the use of case studies, reflection points, brief exercises and further reading.

The first year of practice can be a particularly challenging time for NQSWs. The Assessed and Supported year in Employment (ASYE) is primarily concerned with supporting NQSWs to establish you on the first rung of your professional career. The expectation is that knowledge and skills gained in qualifying education are consolidated and that new knowledge and skills are developed in practice relevant to the employment setting.

Focusing in on the transition from study to work and what professionalism looks like in practice, this book has been designed to help you get a true sense of what it’s like to work within today’s health care system. It’s been written in conjunction with Social Work Managers, Service Users and NQSWs themselves to provide a detailed and balanced assessment of what it’s like to work as a social worker and tests you on key areas you’ll be assessed on throughout the ASYE.
