Recommendations

Recommendations (the sheriff's words)

It seems to me that where risks are identified those responsible for the daily care of the vulnerable adult must ensure that carers know and understand the identified risks, know and understand agreed strategies to minimise those risks and know and understand what to do in the event that the risks in fact manifest themselves.

Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
