Safeguarding people with intellectual disabilities from abuse
Presented by:
Dr Paul Cambridge, Independent Trainer and Consultant
Dr Paul Cambridge will explore the evidence on the abuse of vulnerable adults from the UK, including short video sequences which relate the nature and extent of abuse. This will then be used to outline the challenges of adult protection/ safeguarding in a social care market, with lessons for improving adult safeguarding policy and practice identified.
Paul Cambridge was a Senior Lecturer in learning disability at the Tizard Centre, and more recently in social work at the University of Kent, until he retired in 2012. He has worked in local government social services helping close the old long-stay mental handicap institutions and for the Personal Social Services Research Unit on an evaluation of Care in the Community for the Department of Health. He has researched and published extensively on the sexuality of men with intellectual disability and on adult protection/ safeguarding and now works part time as an independent trainer and consultant. He has developed and delivered adult protection/ safeguarding training for social workers and managers in Kent and Medway, Somerset and Cambridgeshire social services departments.
