Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and the Law by Michael Mandelstam

Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and the Law by Michael Mandelstam

The book focuses on how many areas of law apply to vulnerable adults, bringing together an extensive body of case law to illustrate this. Also covered is how local authorities and the NHS may themselves be implicated in the harm suffered. For example, in terms of gross lapses in standards of care and basic dignity sometimes found in hospitals.

The safeguarding of vulnerable adults is a major area of work for protection and enforcement agencies, yet this is the first book to address the legal framework of such effortsParticular emphasis is put upon issues concerning vulnerable adults harmed by abuse, neglect or omission. Case histories blend with community insights, as well as social and financial harm analysis, in a detailed, in-depth guide. -- The Midwest Book Review
Case law, careful analysis and sound practice. This is an essential reference for all care home providers and home care agencies. -- Caring Times
