Situated: Does the 'work' that can be done by a concept vary by definition, according to the (care / knowledge) domain it is found / placed in? Does this is turn influence the 'objects' that are found in the act of crossing(s)?

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. ]

"Care Act 2014

Mental Capacity Act 2005 / Court of Protection

Human Rights Act 1998

Domestic violence crimes and victims act 2004  (amended in 2012)

Mental Health Act 1983

Safeguarding vulnerable groups act 2004 amended by Protection of Freedoms Act in 2012

Sexual Offences Act 2012"
(list not exhaustive)


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.
