Can anyone please help me. I've been searching for hours trying to find the answer..
"Explain the roles of different agencies in safeguarding & protecting individuals from abuse"

I've put so far..

Police, criminal (assault, fraud, theft, domestic violence)
Council, to protect people using their service - make sure they're safe. Extend help where needed to support those experiencing abuse and neglect in their own homes
Social Workers, To investigate actual or suspected abuse or neglect
CRB, to check an individuals past to see if they have any criminal convictions.

I'm sure not if any of this is right. Am I going completely off track ???

Please help

hello,
That's fine. You could also describe your own role as well.

Will do. Many Thanks

Hi, just thought I'd add:
Care provider such as Home Care Agency.
Medical professionals such as GP, A&E staff, nurses, doctors: they can examine, diagnose & treat, they can record: this can include photographic evidence.
An Expert Witness: this is a specialist within a subject such as paediatris, geriatrics, psychiatrics.
The local authority Social Services dept would carry out an assessment of needs, this would include any unpaid carer of individual.
Safeguarding Team, within Social Services dept: investigates & ensures safety, work with other agencies such as police. A Safeguarding & Protection Officer would lead the Adult Protection Alert.
Police: to investigate/prosecute, to work with other agencies, to provide support to victims, to raise awareness of crimes, crime prevention.
Care Quality Commission to regulate & inspect care providers.
Independent Safeguarding Authority, this includes Vetting & Barring Scheme, to safeguard & protect vulnerable people before employment commences, incl CRB.

Thank you that was really useful to me to xx
