ADASS Casey Commission deep dive: safeguarding

This briefing sets out ADASS’s position on adult safeguarding as part of the Casey Commission’s deep dive into the future of adult social care. It explores what safeguarding means in practice, the pressures facing councils and their partners, and the reforms needed to ensure that every person at risk of abuse or neglect gets the support they deserve. From workforce and legal frameworks to governance and transitional safeguarding, it makes the case for a system built on prevention, rights, and relationship-based practice.
