Adult Protection.  The percentage of closed adult protection cases where the adult at risk reported that they felt safer as a result of the action taken is gathered via an audit sample of the Service User Questionnaires provided to Adults at Risk attending Adult Protection Case Conferences and Reviews. For 2014/15, 80% of respondents indicated that they felt safer as a result of the action taken. Whilst a drop from the previous year (90% in 2013/14), this figure still indicates a high level of satisfaction and meets the 80% target. Work is underway to revise whether the method of data collection is the best way to engage with service users on this issue.  The percentage of adult protection plans reviewed indicating a reduction in risk of harm figure is gathered via an audit sample of Adult Protection Case Conference Minutes and Adult Support and Protection Plans. Both Minutes and Plans should indicate where risks have been ameliorated and where they are still prevalent. For 2014/15, 88% of the Plans reviewed indicated a reduction in the risk of harm (an increase on the figure for 2013/14 – 80%).  It should be noted that, as in Child Protection, measuring progress in Adult Protection work is challenging. Quite often, small measures can indicate significant improvements in peoples' lives. The Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 places duties on Local Authorities and other public bodies to make inquiries, undertake investigations and, where necessary, take action to protect adults who are at risk of harm or who are being harmed. To supplement the legislation, West Lothian Council, as the lead agency in Adult Protection work, has developed detailed Adult Protection Procedures and Guidance to assist practitioners. An aspect of the Adult Protection process, set out in these Procedures, are Adult Protection Case Conferences. There is a strong ethos in ensuring the Adult at Risk attends where appropriate and that robust Adult Support and Protection Plans are put in place. The process is chaired by someone who is independent from the case so a degree of external scrutiny can be brought. Whilst the Local Authority is the lead agency, the case conferences are multi-agency and the input from NHS and Police Scotland colleagues as well as voluntary organisations is crucial. The PIs suggest that, in general, the case conference process works well. However, an audit of case conferences is nearing completion so that any improvement actions can be identified.
