When faced with tragic incidents relating to children and vulnerable adults, it is easy for organisations to fall into turmoil.
Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
Verita has a strong track-record in conducting reviews and investigations of cases in which children or vulnerable adults have come to harm while under the care of health of social care services. We are also experienced in conducting domestic homicide reviews. Similar systems and processes are in place for both types of work.
There reviews are often high-profile and complex involving multiples agencies. They demand sensitivity and thoroughness to ensure the right conclusions are reached and the findings are able to withstand intense scrutiny - often by national and sometimes even international media.
In addition to carrying out individual management reviews, serious care reviews and domestic homicide reviews, Verita also provides:
- advice and support for internal investigations into serious incidents
- training for IMR reviewers on safeguarding children
- training for IMR reviewers on safeguarding vulnerable adults.
