Working together to improve adult protection: Risk assessment and protection plan (formats and explanatory notes)

This resource, from the Adult Protection Shared Learning Initiative, presents a set of formats and standards intended to be used as part of a broader assessment and care planning process. The document begins with explanatory notes concerning those formats, which were developed from detailed work involving social work, health, police services and voluntary organisations. All adult care groups (older people, physical disability, learning disability, mental health, and substance use) are represented in the project work, which also drew on child protection and criminal justice experience.
