In this episode of ComplyPlus™ Presents, Lewis Normoyle is joined by Dr Richard Dune to tackle one of the most critical issues in health and social care: safeguarding adults.From the legal duties in the Care Act 2014 to the safeguarding failures repeatedly flagged by the CQC, they explore why safeguarding is not just about recognising abuse but embedding a culture of vigilance, governance, and accountability.Dr Richard Dune breaks down the six safeguarding principles, the ten categories of abuse, and the workforce responsibilities at Levels 1–3. They highlight systemic failings such as poor training, missed capacity assessments, and collapsed governance, while also spotlighting today’s high-risk areas including self-neglect, domestic abuse, financial exploitation, and modern slavery.
