The Centre for Policy on Ageing was commissioned by the Department of Health to undertake an analysis of the local council codes of practice for the protection of vulnerable adults.
The aims of the study were to:
- look at the extent of the development of local strategic partnerships charged with the implementation of the guidance
- determine the extent to which a number of the key requirements and recommendations of 'No Secrets' have been achieved
- identify and comment on examples of good practice in operation in particular areas to enable sharing of effective models of operation
- identify areas where insufficient progress has been made and highlight the need to address these areas
- comment on the state of readiness of local councils and their partner agencies to fulfil their obligations to vulnerable adults in their locality.
