Safeguarding Across the Life Span



October 2020 | 296 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Considering safeguarding across the life span and placing it within a multiagency context, this book gives students a grounding to the key issues in safeguarding today, highlighting the key skills and knowledge necessary for effective practice along the way. It includes reference to the latest legislation, skills for practice, a breadth of contexts and service-user groups, drawing on a range of case studies, activities, reflective questions and recommending reading from across health and social care. Locating age specific concerns in context and divided into sections which cover every stage of life, it addresses questions of culture, gender and problems frequently encountered in practice and what these mean for safeguarding and law.

Excellent book that has already been used to plan lessons and teach. It navigates the complexities of safeguarding adults, children and young people using examples from practice. The chapters are clearly laid out and provide prompts that can be used as part of teaching and development.

This is one of the most comprehensive books I have read on safeguarding. It divides the topics up into adult and child safeguarding, gives a coherent account of relevant legislation and tackles types of specific abuse. It has some great activities and is accessible for level 4.

A very useful and comprehensive book to have on the reading list of the course for counsellors

I really like this book, it is set out clearly and I think suitable for the Trainee Nursing Associates.
Links to law, ethics, person-focused care, communication and integrated care module content. I also like the 'Did you know?' section which gives additional information.
There are activities to support learning and case studies which enables extending application of theory to practice.

A very useful resource to help students understand development and change throughout life.

Will be recommending this book to students as it covers the whole life course - really good for first year pre-reg but also for post reg safeguarding unit.

Ties in neatly with teaching elsewhere on the programme which focuses of the life course itself. Useful to have comparison between adult and child safeguarding in the same resource.
