This section includes all video material - webinars, presentations, animations, recorded events and short films - relevant to Adult Support and Protection.
This video, presented by Lisa Cox of Scottish Fire and Rescue, defines a hoarding disorder and its key attributes. It looks at origins, prevalence, risk, assessment, and effective working with people affected by hoarding. The video also covers Diogenes Syndrome (DS).
This video, from the ASPire 2024 conference, defines and explores 'sextortion' scams. These are financially motivated sexual extortion scams which involve the threat of sharing sexual information, images, or clips to extort money. Forms of sextortion are discussed, alongside recent trends, and the impact sextortion can have on a victim. The video includes a shorter film, made by the National Crime Agency to raise awareness of how sextortion may occur.
This video, from the ASPire 2024 conference, sets out the key messages from Adult Support and Protection Learning Reviews. This includes common factors leading to a Learning Review, most prominent types of harm, and how Learning Reviews impact practice. Implications for ASP improvement across Scotland are considered.
This video, from the ASPire 2024 conference, explores the issue of undue pressure. This includes when it's relevant, how it is defined, and how it is proved. The video particularly sets out the legal context and challenges in proving undue pressure is (or has been) occurring. Reference is made to the case of 'AB', in which undue pressure was a factor.
This video, from the ASPire 2024 conference, explores the case of 'AB'. This person had mild-moderate learning disabilities and a long-term medical condition, and died aged 52. Alongside AB, the case highlights the role of CD, who repeatedly thwarted AB's access to medical care and support. The video outlines lessons to be learned for the future, particularly considering the issue of undue pressure.
This video is for residential care and care-at-home services. It helps them understand their responsibilities when responding to allegations that a care worker is causing harm to a person. This might be through deliberate acts or through neglect. The video addresses common questions that arise, including referral, recording, staff suspensions, criminality, and concerns over malicious allegations. The care provider's role in an ongoing investigation is also discussed.
This video and one-page briefing share practice from Aberdeen's experiences when working with people with hoarding and/or self-neglecting behaviour. The material prompts practitioners to think about what might be the reasons for the person's behaviour and the possible impacts. It also addresses when an Adult Support and Protection referral should be considered. Relationship building, multi-agency working, and the balance of 'choice' and risk are all considered.
