Dumfries and Galloway Multi-Agency Adult Support and Protection Guidance has been reviewed to align with the revised ASP Codes of Practice 2022 and the West of Scotland Inter-Agency Support and Protection Practice Guidance 2019.
It has been developed by representatives from Social Work, Police Scotland, NHS Dumfries and Galloway, Improvements and Quality, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, and Third Sector.
The Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 was introduced to maximise the protection of adults at risk of harm and provide a clear legal framework to do this.
