Professional Curiosity in Safeguarding Adults

By Bridget Penhale, Ann Anka, Helen Thacker

Book Overview

This is an essential text for students at all levels studying social work, nursing and allied health and social care, focusing on the need for professional curiosity and partnership work in safeguarding adults. Professional curiosity is a vital element of professional health and social care practice, yet information and guidance are scarce. Considering the post-pandemic landscape and the legal policy context of partnership work, this text provides a detailed examination around definitions of professional curiosity and what those mean in practice in relation to vulnerable adults. Real life examples are woven throughout based on serious case reviews, safeguarding adults' reviews, domestic homicide reviews and extensive research, and there are numerous opportunities for readers to test their knowledge and skills.
