This forms part of the Dumfries and Galloway Multi-Agency Adult Support and Protection Guidance.
1. Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Inquiries
1.1 Many different professionals in statutory agencies and other organisations have contact with adults at risk of harm including Social Workers, medical and nursing staff and other health professionals, staff delivering care services, Procurators Fiscal, the Police and staff of voluntary organisations. A multiagency and multi-disciplinary approach is therefore appropriate and is in place in Dumfries and Galloway. This is supported by our Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
