<p>In January 2022, the Chief Social Worker for Adults published an independent briefing
‘Revisiting safeguarding practice' to support social workers and other local authority
adult safeguarding practitioners to carry out their duties effectively under the Care
Act 2014.</p><p>We are also preparing to introduce a new duty for the Care Quality
Commission to assess local authorities’ delivery of adult social care duties under
Part 1 of the Care Act as part of the Health and Care Bill, which we anticipate will
include adult safeguarding. These assessments will provide a greater understanding
of practice and provision at local level and enable good practice to be shared nationally.</p>
