vulnerable adults
This workshop focuses on improving interaction between the person supported by services and the practitioner on the subject of risk. It draws on recent research, focused on adult support and protection, which highlighted the importance of improving practitioners' understanding of how the person they support views their life and the harm they might be facing.
