The Report also highlights progress and priorities in relation to workstreams during Background and Context 2.1 The Government produced No Secrets Guidance in 2000 to help authorities work with partner agencies to protect vulnerable adults from abuse. Local procedures are documented and revised via a Teeswide Review Steering Group. 2.2 Adult and Community Services Department has responsibility for coordinating the procedures for Adult Protection in Hartlepool. These procedures are overseen by Hartlepool Vulnerable Adults Protection Committee (HVAPC). Members of HVAPC are detailed at Appendix A range of groups have been established to contribute to the safeguarding framework. These are intended to ensure that practice in relation to safeguarding activity is in line with national guidelines; also, so that: - Lessons can be learned to improve practice - Any new and relevant information can be taken into account when updating the Procedure and thereby ensuring best practice. - Appropriate Provision can be made to respond to identified training needs. 2.4 In October 2005 the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) launched the document Safeguarding Adults: A National Framework of Standards for Good Practice and Outcomes in Adult Protection Work. This outlines a set of national standards that aim to prevent neglect and abuse of Vulnerable Adults. 2.5 The underlying principles of the National Framework will be reflected in a forthcoming review of the No Secrets procedure by the Teeswide Steering Group for a more preventative approach to the safeguarding of Vulnerable Adults. This is taking place in

4 Hartlepool Vulnerable Adults Biennial Report Hartlepool Vulnerable Adults Protection Committee and Sub Groups 3.1 The role of the Hartlepool Vulnerable Adults Protection Committee is to monitor and evaluate Policy, Procedures and Practice Guidance in order to better safeguard the welfare of Vulnerable Adults. 3.2 The Committee is a multi agency partnership whose purpose is to implement arrangements that will protect vulnerable adults from abuse and exploitation.

5 Hartlepool Vulnerable Adults Biennial Report During the periods April 2005 to March 2006 and April 2006 to March 2007 respectively there were 146 and 148 alerts or notifications of abuse in Hartlepool This represents a significant increase compared to 63 alerts which occurred during the period April 04 to March 05. However, it is important to note that this increase does not necessarily mean that abuse is occurring more often; it is perhaps more likely a reflection of a greater awareness of Adult Protection procedures. 4.2 Adult Protection Referrals: No Further Action All allegations of possible abuse are logged by Adult and Community Services Department and it is possible that any trends may be identified A small number of referral/notifications of alleged abuse do not progress any further. Reasons for this include the following: Expressed wishes of victim not to proceed further. Situations where an Alleged Abuser or Victim lacks capacity. Circumstances where there is no evidence to support allegations of possible institutional abuse and police involvement In of the alerts/referrals did not proceed any further In of the alerts/referrals did not proceed any further. 4.3 Strategy Discussion Meetings in If a vulnerable adult cannot be safeguarded at the initial strategy stage this means that further investigation is necessary Of the 146 referrals in , 120 went on to be investigated further Of the 148 Investigations in went on to be investigated further. 5. Trends 5.1 During the following trends have been noted - A slight Increase in numbers of allegations of financial abuse - A small increase in instances of referrals from home care agencies - A small decrease in instances of referral from Care Home Providers. - A significant increase in instances of alleged institutional abuse - A significant increase in instances of alleged abuse taking place in Residential Care Home. 4
