Safeguarding Adults Alliance

EDM number 639 in 2008-09, proposed by Paul Burstow on 29/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Community care.

That this House welcomes the establishment of the Safeguarding Adults Alliance to campaign to put adult protection in England, Wales and Northern Ireland on a statutory footing; notes that over 700 organisations and individuals have come together in the Alliance; further notes that the Alliance includes representatives from Mencap, Action on Elder Abuse, Alzheimer's Society, the United Kingdom Home Care Association, Action for Advocacy, Irwin Mitchell solicitors, the School of Social and Health Care at Bournemouth University, Age Concern North Staffordshire and the Beth Johnson Foundation; agrees with the Alliance that guidance issued under section 7 of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970 does not carry the same status as legislation; and therefore calls on the Government to introduce legislation that provides a statutory basis for adult protection.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
