The City of York and North Yorkshire Self Neglect document outlines Practice Guidance for dealing with issues and concerns of self-neglect in relation to adults with care and support needs.
The Guidance should be read alongside the Joint area Multi-Agency Safeguarding Adults Policy and Procedures https://wynyy-northyorks.trixonline.co.uk
A self neglect presentation has also been developed in conjunction with the practice guidance with the intention of this being delivered within organisations.
PLEASE NOTE – The guidance is being shared on our website to start raising awareness of the Self Neglect practice however this has not yet been implemented in North Yorkshire but will be in the near future.
