The Framework offers procedural guidance to help inform and support the decision-making process when responding to allegations.\nAlthough Jersey does not have an equivalent to the Care Act 2014 (applicable in the UK) this framework draws on its principles and guidance such as; requiring all partners and those providing universal care and support services to have clear policies for dealing with allegations against people in positions of trust.\nThe responsibility for addressing concerns about someone who works with adults with care and support needs lies with the employer, who must assess any potential risk to adults who use their services and if necessary, act to safeguard those adults.\nThe framework is designed to ensure that if information is shared or disclosed it is done so in accordance with Jersey Law but in such a way that allows appropriate and proportionate enquiries to be made that ensures adults with care and support needs are protected and public confidence in services is maintained.\nThis guidance does not replace existing safeguarding procedures and must be read and used in the context of the SPB Multi-Agency Safeguarding Policy and Procedures. It should be read in conjunction with the framework for managing allegations against people who work with children (see \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://safeguarding.je/policies-strategies/\" \u0014Managing Allegations Framework for Children\u0015).\nThe Framework is b","cbCainBYcSziwEaD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainBYcSziwEaD","docx",346035,22,"English","# Introduction\n## Scope\n## Adult Workforce Designated Officer (AWDO)\n## Partner organisations’ responsibilities\n## Safeguarding Adult Team\n## Planning meeting\n## Roles of police and Jersey Care Commission (JCC)\n## Professional bodies and employers\n## Information sharing and risk management\n## Review of working arrangements\n## Disciplinary process and support\n## False allegations and recording","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this multi-agency framework for Jersey?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines partner agencies’ responsibilities and provides procedural guidance for responding to allegations or concerns involving people in positions of trust working with adults with care and support needs.
