MAIN BODY
Overview of case
In the given case study, Florence and her husband Errol is living in UK and they are
having three children but all of them had left home. All children are doing their work and settled
in their life. Errol is diagnosed as having a ‘mini stroke’. Due to this he has become forgetful and
confused, he is not able to understand what is happening. Florence is not able to handle the
situation alone, she is shouting at Errol and then regrets it because her husband is not well and
they both need support of their children. Condition of house was not so good and it requires
repair so for that a man, George told them that they had tile loose on the roof which he will
repair and did not charge for that. Florence and Errol also received notice that their gutters need
cleaning, after sometime George did a range of jobs such as, painting and repair other things. But
he was charging high and Florence was not able to afford it. Florence think George a nice person
and give keys of house to him. After some time, she noticed that several things are missing in
house, she asked Errol about it but he said that he is not knowing anything about this. Her
necklace was also missing and Florence was scared and she was not able to understand how
things are missing. Her neighbour Sanjit, noticed that Florence is distressed and he contact social
services for help.
Safeguarding intervention
Safeguarding intervention is important because it helps in preventing harm and reduce risk
of abuse and harm. It raise awareness among public so that they can live life safely and there will

be no harm. It is essential that some steps should be taken by social worker to protect rights of
human and give them better life (Cooper, Cocker and Briggs, 2018). People should be alert and
there are many awareness programs are organised in which steps for safety are being presented.
Two safeguarding interventions are discussed below:

Making safeguarding personal is a intervention whose purpose is to develop an outcome,
support people and reduce risk. It helps in solving issues of public by providing them better
services and prevent them from harm and abuse. There are some principles of safeguarding
personal are, accountability, prevention, protection and partnership. This help in providing better
protection and essential steps is being taken for safety and security of people. Making
safeguarding personal refers to talking about adults and care for them in such a way that it will
enhance choice, control, involve adults and helps in improving quality of life. Safety and security
of people is important and they should live their life without any harm or risk (Lewis and et.al.,
2017).
Making safeguarding personal is helpful in improving health of an individual person. it
focuses on outcome and care act is also focusing on safeguarding adult. In case, Errol is forgetful
and confused so safeguarding personal will help in improving health of Errol and it will prevent
a person from mini stroke. Protection should be given to an individual person and managing
safeguarding personal will help in improving quality of life. Errol is a person at risk and
suffering from multi -stroke dementia in which he forget things and is depending on his wife.
This is different from other person because due to this problem Florence has to manage all things
and take care of Errol. He forget things so, may be he has taken things from house and not
knowing about it. His family is facing many difficulties as Errol can not live alone because he
can go anywhere. Florence has to take care of him and have to handle all problems.
