This presentation was delivered in April 2024 to a joint child protection / Adult Support and Protection meeting. Children and adults are defined in different ways in legislation. While ASP is applicable to someone over 16, child protection may be applicable up to the age of 18. In theory, therefore, both ASP and Child Protection guidance can apply to 16 and 17 year olds. This presentation gives an overview of that overlap and the interface between these two areas of support. It also covers the experience of working with 16 and 17 year olds from a practitioner perspective.

Dundee City Council’s Protecting People team have ideveloped a robust trauma-informed approach when working with people with lived experience. This report describes how adults with lived experience influence and contribute to local decision-making, including in Adult Support and Protection. The report stresses a sense of opportunity when working with people who have experienced trauma, and taking a strengths-based approach. This shifts the focus from risks and limitations, and creates opportunities to hear positive stories instead.

This informal learning review follows a series of crisis meetings that led to the hospital admission of 'A22'. It particularly concerns a whole-family approach to Adult Support and Protection and taking a multi-agency approach in this. Issues discussed include challenges around escalation (when to escalate, to whom, and what to do when no escalation processes exist). Also covered is the challenge when supporting an adult who chooses not to engage - particularly where capacity and choice exists.

This informal learning review is based on a request made by the Mental Welfare Commission (MWC). Issues covered in this review include self-neglect, hoarding behaviour, multi-agency working, chronologies, and professional curiosity.
