They may be the first to notice unexplained changes, unsafe care, coercion, neglect, poor practice, self-neglect or signs that someone is unable to protect themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1548,\"w\":560,\"h\":97,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":1810}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1548,\"w\":554,\"h\":97,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":1810}'\u003eIn England, Section 42 of the Care Act 2014 applies where a local authority has reasonable cause to suspect that an adult has needs for care and support, is experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect, and is unable to protect themselves because of those needs. The Care Act statutory guidance also explains that safeguarding forms part of the wider framework for adult care and support, including wellbeing and protection from abuse or neglect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1662,\"w\":560,\"h\":78,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":1924}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1662,\"w\":546,\"h\":77,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":1924}'\u003eSafeguarding also connects with mental capacity and best interests. The Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice gives guidance to people who work with or care for people who cannot make certain decisions for themselves, and it explains what must be considered when acting or making decisions on another person’s behalf.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1756,\"w\":560,\"h\":117,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":2018}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1756,\"w\":549,\"h\":116,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":2018}'\u003ePoor safeguarding practice can create serious consequences: adults may remain at risk, concerns may be underreported, records may fail to show decision-making, consent may be misunderstood, information may be shared inappropriately, and organisations may be unable to demonstrate safe care.
