Safeguarding enquiry
Definition
From:
NICE Guideline NG189 - Safeguarding adults in care homes
If the local authority agrees that the safeguarding referral falls within the duty set out within section 42 of the Care Act 2014 and related statutory guidance, they must undertake an enquiry into the suspected abuse or neglect. Note that this definition relates to enquiries about abuse and neglect in care homes. For a more general definition, see the Local Government Association and ADASS definition in their report on understanding what constitutes a safeguarding concern.
