Adult protectioncommittees or forums may play a role in feeding back lessons into mainstream practiceincluding what has been learned about• unsafe practices or settings• recruitment processes (e.g. vetting procedures)• clients who are particularly vulnerable• indicators of abuse in individuals or settings• training needs of staff• links with domestic violence services and community safety units• areas of policy where further work needs to be done to clarify good practice orstrengthen professional boundaries (e.g. sexuality, intimate care practices,handling personal moneys, control or restraint).11.2 Training and policy development should increasingly take note of adult protectionissues as these arise in the context of mainstream service development within and acrosssocial care agencies.Example of Powys CC prevention policy at Appendix 731
