Full Description
A practical guide for students studying social work, nursing and allied health and social care that focuses on professional curiosity and partnership work in safeguarding adult's practice.
Professional curiosity is an essential element in practice. However, there is a scarcity of information and guidance materials to support students and practitioners on the topic. This book aims to consider the post-pandemic landscape and the legal policy context of partnership work as it fills the gap and provides a detailed examination of definitions surrounding professional curiosity and what that means to those working with vulnerable adults. The reader is introduced to what professional curiosity and partnership work entail and how they intersect.
The discussions and practice skills required to participate in professional curiosity are provided, drawing examples from
Serious Case Reviews,
Safeguarding Adults Reviews,
Domestic Homicide Reviews and
extensive research.
There are also numerous opportunities for readers to test their knowledge, reflect and apply their skills with activities and practice quizzes throughout. This will help readers not only test their knowledge and understanding of their reading but also learn the consequences of failing to employ professional curiosity and partnership in safeguarding adults.
