Hate crime

Hate crime is a manifestation of prejudice and discrimination, where the perpetrator’s hostility against an identifiable group of people is a key factor in determining who is victimised. Both adults and children can be victims.

Preventing scams and financial abuse

Using the Mental Capacity Act in the Community

This short video demonstrates how the Mental Capacity Act can be applied in community settings. It showcases the way people with care and support needs, their family and friends and professionals should work together by way of case example. 

This video has been produced by Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust.

SCIE: Lessons from the murder of Steven Hoskin

This video demonstrates that partnership between agencies and procedures for sharing information are vital to adult safeguarding.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

This short animated film has been developed to raise awareness of ACEs, their potential to damage health across the life course and the roles that different agencies can play in preventing ACEs and supporting those affected by them.

Tricky Friends

Tricky Friends" is a short animation developed to help people understand what good friendships are, when they might be harmful, and what they can do. It is important that people with learning disabilities and autism, those who have cognitive difficulties, and also children and young adults, have positive opportunities to make and maintain friendships.
Richmond and Wandsworth Safeguarding Adults Board (RWSAB) would like to help them do that, while also reducing the risk of harm and exploitation in groups who may be less able to recognise the intentions of others. RWSAB hope this animation is used as a way to help people think about the issues, to start those conversations, and keep safe while enjoying friendships.

Adult safeguarding - British Sign Language

A video explaining what adult safeguarding is in British Sign Language, produced by Skills for Care, The College of Social Work and the National Skills Academy.

Transitional safeguarding

This short animation sets out what transitional safeguarding is and why it matters. It is intended to be highly accessible, rather than a resource for those who already understand the subject in more detail.
