Steering Group Discussion - Underpinning Principles in Health Sector Adult Safeguarding Policy
Principles play a crucial role in guiding initial policy direction, providing ongoing guidance to policy-makers, and serving as a foundation for policy development in the health sector adult safeguarding policy team. Stakeholder feedback reveals clear endorsement of principles like a rights-based approach, person-centredness, and empowerment, while highlighting areas with lesser support such as inter-sectoral integration and resource/cost assessment. Commonalities in principles among different regions emphasize the importance of a rights-based approach, self-determination, collaboration, and more. The Department of Health puts forth initial proposals for policy inclusion, focusing on human rights, person-centredness, advocacy, prevention, and other key principles.
