Key Safeguarding Legislation [UK]

I have been catching up on mandatory e-learning for work, which included safeguarding. This included a review of forms of abuse:

Physical abuse
Domestic violence or abuse
Sexual abuse
Psychological or emotional abuse
Financial or material abuse
Modern slavery
Discriminatory abuse
Organisational or institutional abuse
Neglect or acts of omission
Self-neglect  [SCIE]

In addition to the list of legislation below, readers may wish to relate these forms of abuse to the care (knowledge) domains of Hodges' model. 

Remember the model is an idealisation, but it is a very useful starting point for reflection, critical thinking, problem solving, analysis and synthesis.   [ Re. (self) - see below. ]

As a means to help understand a situation, the model is applicable in risk and public safety more generally. In assessing risk students often recognise 'risk to self' and 'risk to others', but self-neglect can be a key part of the picture.

'desktop' Definition #1 below is as obvious as it is brief. A desk might be topped with various things, so-called executive toys (still?), personal affects, or company related branding. It may have the proverbial in-tray, out-tray (paper still lingers?). The desk may be clear, or cluttered as a workspace. It will be the home of technology, it's PC - desktop - namesake, that shares the floor nearby, wired the sign of connectedness and energy.

'Desk-topping' To have 'papers' on the desk, might be to denote action of some sort, but how long are those 'papers' held for? The subjects of the issue at hand could be experiencing a protracted delay. The desktop in this case exemplifies not just bureaucracy, but obfuscation.

desk·top (dĕsk′tŏp′)
n.
1. The top of a desk.
2. Computers
a. The area of a display screen where images, windows, icons and other graphical items appear.
b. A computer that is designed to be used at a desk or table and is not easily moved, in contrast to a laptop or other portable device. Also called desktop computer.

Why
is the Sky Blue?

My source: BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour:

"For her offbeat musical Why is the Sky Blue? Abbey Wright, the director, interviewed more than 10,000 children and young people about their experiences of online pornography. Currently being performed at the Southwark Playhouse in London, the outcome is a new piece of verbatim theatre with explicit references performed by a company of 6-22 year olds. Abbey joins Jane as does Annie Hawkins, one of the young actors."
