Adult protection arrangements to be reviewed
CSSIW has issued an overview of adult protection in social care in Wales, which alongside a separate report on the NHS has found that local authorities are making good progress on adult protection but need to do more to provide a more consistent response, as thresholds for referrals are not often well understood. A thematic study was also made of care home responses to adult protection. Recommending authorities undertake a review of their arrangements to include partners such as the independent sector in training it also recommends a number of actions for the Assembly. In response Gwenda Thomas, the minister promised action by the end of 2010 on reviewing adult protection arrangements (see www.wales.nhs.uk/newsitem.cfm?contentid=16032)
