Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) - 7 Minute Briefing

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Safeguarding Adults Board's Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) 7 Minute Briefing provides an introduction to the principles of person-led and outcomes-focused safeguarding. It promotes an approach that places adults at the centre of safeguarding conversations, ensuring that their views, wishes, strengths and desired outcomes shape decision-making and interventions.

The briefing explains the six safeguarding principles of empowerment, prevention, proportionality, protection, partnership and accountability, and supports practitioners to balance the need to protect individuals from harm while respecting their rights, choices and independence.

It also highlights the importance of professional curiosity, advocacy, mental capacity considerations and effective multi-agency working to ensure safeguarding responses are meaningful, personalised and focused on achieving outcomes that matter to the individual.

Overall, the guidance encourages a strengths-based, relationship-focused approach to safeguarding that promotes dignity, choice, wellbeing and positive outcomes for adults with care and support needs.
