Safeguarding tools and templates

Four template documents have been produced in partnership with our total transformation local authority sites.  They are practical resources that have been developed to help those facing the issue of balalcing choice and control with the duty to safeguard vulnerable adults. 

We expect these documents to evolve over time and we welcome feedback on how these can be improved.
