Safeguarding investigations cover the process by which local authorities, police and other agencies assess concerns that an adult at risk may be being abused, neglected or deprived of care and support. A solicitor practising in this area represents a service user or their family, helps gather evidence, prepares statements, liaises with safeguarding teams and, if needed, applies to the court for protective orders or to challenge decisions that affect liberty or welfare.
This work involves understanding safeguarding procedures, gathering and checking evidence, engaging with local authority safeguarding teams, the police and healthcare professionals, and navigating potential court or tribunal involvement. It may require advising on best interests and capacity issues, and coordinating with care providers and family members to protect the adult at risk.
