Adult Protection Resources
Everyone
has a right to lead a full life.
But no
one should have to face harm alone.
Welcome to the resources created from Altrum’s project with Stirling University.
The background
Between 2010 and 2011 a group of people who access services provided by Altrum organisations worked in collaboration with Altrum and Stirling University staff to research the views of disabled people.
The research was around what they wished professionals to take into account when they were concerned someone may be at risk of harm.
Especially in the context of the Adult Support and Protection Act (Scotland) 2007.
Research findings
We have a suite of documents including reports, information leaflets and planning tools around harm.
We also have a suite of video resources which give further information on the research and provide resources to inform training on Adult Support and Protection issues.
Funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
A participatory research project developed by Altrum and the University of Stirling. Hosted by Thistle Foundation.
