how Randstad’s TLC packages are helping employers tackle the rising tide of safeguarding concerns.
safeguarding concerns on the rise.
Safeguarding the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals is a fundamental responsibility, but one that’s becoming ever more challenging for local authorities and care providers.
Recent figures from West Northamptonshire Council are particularly sobering: safeguarding concerns about vulnerable adults have surged by 80% – a dramatic increase when compared with the national average rise of 9%. Even more concerning, the number of Section 42 inquiries (triggered when a local authority believes a vulnerable adult is at risk of abuse or neglect) has spiked by 43% during the same period.
These numbers are more than statistics; they represent real people in urgent need of protection and personalised support. They also highlight an immediate need for scalable, yet sensitive, safeguarding solutions.
the case for personalised care.
Effectively addressing safeguarding concerns means moving away from generic models of care. Every individual has unique circumstances, risks, and preferences, so the care they receive must reflect that.
Tailored care plans take into account personal histories, specific vulnerabilities, and cultural or emotional needs. This person-centred approach doesn’t just reduce risk, it also fosters dignity, stability, and long-term wellbeing. For care providers and local authorities, it also means fewer interventions, reduced crises, and better outcomes.
