Illustrating how people with learning difficulties can be capable of safeguarding themselves from harm
Andrea Hollomotz is Lecturer in Social Policy at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. Her particular interest in the subject area at hand arose from her experiences of conducting adult protection work in the field.
This book deals with a rarely debated subject with which social
workers and the courts are too often confronted. The author
addresses a topic which could at first glance appear pretty grim
but her approach is inclusive and refreshingly right-based,
offering a constructive and empowering discussion.
*Seen and Heard*
I found this book thought-provoking and a welcome challenge to
established ideas about vulnerability... The book is rich with
excerpts from interviews and examples from Hollomotz's research,
adding depth to the narrative and theory. It is a useful resource
for anyone working in safeguarding adults, who wants to empower,
just protect the service user.
