“…Although M and FGC are primarily known in the context of child welfare, both approaches have also been used in several adult contexts, including: mental health services (de Jong and Schout, 2010Wright, 2008) adult guardianship (Gary, 1997;Honds, 2007;Radford, 2002) long-term care planning (Boise and White, 2004;Bromley and Blieszner, 1997;Gentry, 2010;Healy, 2000;Persson and Castro, 2008;Pinquart et al, 2005), rehabilitation planning (Fronek, 2005(Fronek, , 2010 and medical settings such as palliative and endof-life care (Azoulay, 2005;Craig, 1996;Curtis et al, 2001Curtis et al, , 2005Dreyer et al, 2009;Hudson et al, 2008;Lautrette et al, 2006;Jezewski, 2005, 2009;Saulo et al, 1998). However, this paper focuses on the use of M and FGC in the context of adult safeguarding in the UK, although it draws on international literature where applicable (Craig, 1994(Craig, , 1997(Craig, , 1998(Craig, , 2002Groh and Linden, 2011;McIvers, 2004;Smyth, 2004;Tapper, 2010;Wilson et al, 2011).…”

Purpose -This paper presents an overview of research and practice literature on the use of Mediation (M) and Family Group Conferences (FGC) in the context of adult safeguarding in the UK.Design/methodology/approach -This paper describes the main features of M and FGC and explores how such ''family led'' approaches to adult safeguarding fit within the wider agenda of personalisation and empowerment, including the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and its associated Code of Practice. It also considers the main implications for best practice and future research and service priorities.Findings -M and FGC in an adult context are inclusive processes that enable people to explore choices and options in a supportive environment, assuring maximum possible independence and autonomous control over basic life decisions, while still addressing the person's need for assistance. When used appropriately, both approaches can be a valuable response to safeguarding concerns, promoting choice and control at the same time as protecting people from risk of abuse and harm. However, there are few robust evaluation studies currently available and no systematic research studies were found on cost-effectiveness.Originality/value -The paper shows that there is a clear need for further pilots of M and FGC in adult safeguarding. If such research and pilot evaluations find M and/or FGC to be effective, then more consideration will need to be given as to how to integrate such approaches into mainstream social work practice. There is also currently wide variation in the training and experience of mediators and FGC co-ordinators, and further work is required to ensure that there are appropriate training and accreditation models in the UK for mediators and FGC co-ordinators working with at-risk adults.

Notre recherche-action est issue de l’initiative de trois établissements locatifs à but lucratif accueillant des aînés autonomes et semi-autonomes au Québec préoccupés par des situations de maltraitance entre leurs résidents. Au moyen d’entrevues de groupes avec des résidents, des employés et des gestionnaires, elle visait à documenter ce problème en conjugaison avec la bientraitance entre les résidents. Notre article discute plus spécifiquement des actions posées afin de lutter contre la maltraitance et de promouvoir la bientraitance entre les résidents. Les enjeux soulevés et les pistes d’actions proposées invitent à questionner les limites des compétences attendues chez les employés ainsi que l’offre de services de ces établissements, puis à réfléchir le travail de concertation avec les organisations dans la communauté.
