Safeguarding Threshold Animation Video
CIoS SAB Learning and Development subgroup have produced a ‘Safeguarding Thresholds’ animation video as a resource to raise awareness of appropriate risk management and escalation pathways for public and professionals.
This video seeks to support practitioners, partners, providers and public, working within the adult sector, to report and respond to concerns at the appropriate level and to have a consistency of approach across agencies. This guidance is not a substitute for professional judgement but should be used to assist and inform professional decision-making. There is further guidance in the Adult Safeguarding Threshold Guidance refreshed in 2023.
Lily video (Themes - Domestic abuse, older people, dementia, coercion and control, carer burnout)
This video was commissioned as part of the 2021 Domestic Abuse and Older People conference and has been made available as a development tool for our partners to use with their staff in recognising and responding to signs of domestic abuse. The story depicts events in the life of ‘Lily’, a fictional character but drawn from case studies and experts by experience, performed by the Miracle Theatre Company.
It highlights themes of domestic abuse in older adults, the impacts of dementia, signs of domestic abuse and coercion and control and carer burnout. You can also watch the panel discussion where professionals across various agencies discuss what stood out to them.

- Provide an introduction to exploitation; what to look for and what to do.
- Explore examples of exploitation further by considering a case study
- Explain MACE panel process and 'disruption' activity
Delegates will have access to national and local figures; and the current theory and tools informing the current approach.
