Reviews / Votes

"Difficult concepts are presented with ease in this useful tome. Each chapter is interesting to read and opens further questions about legal and practice processes." Professional Social Work "This exciting research brings messages from practice to the forefront of thinking about risk and decision making in adult safeguarding." Kate Spreadbury, independent adult safeguarding reviewer "The novelty of this book is Jeremy Dixon's close watching of and listening to social workers working in safeguarding and community teams. What he astutely observes is set in the context of the rise of adult safeguarding in social work practice following the Care Act. This book throws a much-needed light on safeguarding practice." Jill Manthorpe CBE, King's College London "This book crafts a vital dialogue between current social science theories of risk and safeguarding practices. Jeremy Dixon uses his expertise on both to insightfully inform social work policy and practice." Patrick Brown, University of Amsterdam "Makes a much-needed contribution to discussions on adult safeguarding and practice in adult social care and will be a very useful resource for practitioners, students, managers and educators." Bridget Penhale, University of East Anglia
