“…Less consistently represented are PCTs (69.9%) and charities/voluntary organisations (65%); the Probation service, prisons, mental health trusts, housing departments, carers and service users, independent sector organisations and CPS are represented on around a third of Boards, whilst a wide range of diverse groups and organisations are involved in less than a quarter. Others (Sumner, 2004) note similar variation, and Reid et al (2009) are critical of the absence of a standard membership, or of the under-representation of groups and professionals managing service users' finances (Wilson et al, 2003).…”

Purpose -This article reports the findings from research into the governance of adult safeguarding policy and practice in England, with particular focus on interagency partnership arrangements expressed through Safeguarding Adults Boards.Design -The study comprised a systematic search and thematic analysis of Englishlanguage literature on adult safeguarding governance, a survey of Safeguarding Adults Board documentation, and key informant interviews and workshops with professionals involved in adult protection.Findings -The effectiveness of adult safeguarding governance arrangements has not been subject to prior formal evaluation and thus the literature provided little research-led evidence of good practice. The survey and workshops, however, revealed a rich and complex pattern of arrangements spanning a number of dimensions -the goals and purpose of interagency working, the structures of boards, their membership, chairing and rules of engagement, their functions, and their accountabilities.Research limitations/implications -The research focus was England, and thus does not incorporate learning from other jurisdictions. Whilst the research scrutinised the extent to which Boards practise empowerment, service users and carers were not directly involved in the fieldwork aspects of this study. In view of the absence of outcomes evidence identified, there remains a need to investigate the impacts of different forms of governance.Practical implications -Drawing on this research and on governance frameworks in the context of related interagency fields, the article identifies standards to benchmark the approach to governance taken by Safeguarding Adult Boards.Value -The benchmarking framework will enable Safeguarding Adults Boards to audit, evaluate and further develop a range of robust governance arrangements.

Growing numbers of older people need help with financial matters, and relatives and friends are likely to be the first involved. At the same time, older people’s financial resources are increasingly complex. In some families, differences in expectations or conflicts of interest among different members may bring further complications. A scoping study found a lack of systematic information on the role of carers in helping older people manage money and assets. Other findings from the scoping study indicate both the growing importance and the complexity of asset management in later life; the information needs of older people and their relatives and friends; and the need for further research into these issues to inform the development of policy and practice.
