Question:
A community psychiatric nurse, Jackie, has been allocated to work with Peter. Initially, Peter refused to let her in as he was worried that she would: put me away, like what happened to my Dad. Gradually, Jackie befriended Peter. It seems that Peter, as well as funding the drinking with his friends, has also been lending them money. He cant remember how much he has spent but says it doesnt matter as they are friends. Peter is underweight and there is not much food in the flat, but Peter says he prefers a liquid lunch. His flat is cold and he tells Jackie that he cannot afford to have the heating on. When Jackie asks him how much money he has, Peter shrugs and says he doesnt know.
End of Scenario
Task:
You are a social worker, asked to make enquires and support Peter. From your investigation you note that the key safeguarding interventions to choose from are:
Making Safeguarding Personal,
Advocacy,
Positive risk taking. and
Adult Family Group conferences.
Identify TWO safeguarding interventions (from the four interventions listed above) that are empowering and review how these interventions would work with this person.
For each of your two selected safeguarding interventions;
1. Describe the safeguarding intervention. (30 Marks – maximum of 15 marks for each intervention)
2. Justify your reasons for using the safeguarding intervention drawing on relevant legislation, guidance and evidence. (30 Marks – maximum of 15 marks for each intervention)
3. Apply the safeguarding intervention to the scenario; drawing on relevant literature to discuss how you would use the care intervention with this person at risk.
Quality of the written presentation.
Guidance on completing the task Ensure you consider the requirement of the Care Act 2014 for safeguarding interventions to be user-led.
The care intervention is an example of using best practice; it is how you should be working with a user-led approach. Outline the problems that may be encountered by professionals when they work in this way, including any valid criticisms of theseinterventions.
For example: According to Preston (2012) using an advocate is essential if the client lacks capacity, however there is a shortage of trained advocates, locating independent advocates who have the time available to work in a meaningful way with people, over an extended period, is difficult in many local authorities. Beresfords research on advocacy in London shows only 1 in 7 adults at risk of abuse, who requested an advocate, were provided with an advocate within 6 months of the request being made (Beresford 2016).
Ensure you use Harvard references (see the guide on the VLE) and write in paragraphs; aim for one point per sentence, one theme per paragraph. Write in the third person in essay format. No executive summary or subheadings are needed as this is an essay.
The work will be assessed in an integrative manner as indicated in the marking rubric, Table 1, that is consistent with Anglia Ruskin University generic assessment criteria and marking standards: Level 5 reproduced in Table 2.
