No secrets?

The DoH was "delighted" with the level of participation in its consultation on changes to the "No secrets" guidance on protection of vulnerable adults. The Department has published a summary of views but gives no clear timeline for any changes in the law or the guidance. Amongst the key messages from the consultation was the stress that the system for adults should not simply replicate the child protection regime. The vast majority of respondents also favoured a clearer definition of "vulnerable adult."
