GUIDANCE FOR CHAIR AND CARE MANAGER

  • Invite the adult at riskto the meeting where possible, to enhance engagement and involvement. If they are able to attend, please consider the suitability of the venue and whether it would be more appropriate to hold the meeting in two parts.
  • Some parts of the agenda allow for general discussion, after which the Chair may wish to summarise the consensus views and reasons for decisions. Any differing views can be minuted rather than the Minute Taker recording the whole discussion.
  • When discussing actions ensure full multi-agency engagement. Please highlight where there are difficulties in producing an agreed multi agency action plan with reasons.
  • In most cases it is anticipated that only one safeguarding meeting will be held in cases of self neglect, to establish the multi-agency plan, and reflect the views of the adult at risk. Ongoing work and monitoring of actions will be the responsibility of the Care Manager.
  • Positive risk taking: refer to the Hampshire County Council ‘Policy to Promote Independence and Choice’ (24/10) for positive risk taking.
