Abstract

As Safeguarding Adults, the national framework of standards of good practice in adult protection, begins to take root in the language and culture of organisations, the need for an evidence base for best practice becomes increasingly important. This article examines the practice data currently generated in three safeguarding adults partnership areas with specific regard to the Safeguarding Adults plan. This process, prior to the clarification of language by Safeguarding Adults, may have been referred to as the ‘case conference’ or ‘review’. Data was gathered from focus groups of safeguarding managers from local unitary authorities. Themes emerged across the groups and, via the use of grounded theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1998), the themes were analysed to highlight the key issues and pressures for those operating within this role.
