Stands for
MSP — Person-centred approach to adult safeguarding that prioritises the adult's desired outcomes over process compliance.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — Person-centred approach to adult safeguarding that prioritises the adult's desired outcomes over process compliance.
- What it means — Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) is a national framework developed by ADASS and the LGA that embeds a person-centred ethos into adult safeguarding. The core principle is: 'What does the adult want to happen as a result of this safeguarding process?' MSP requires practitioners to have honest conversations with adults about their desired outcomes — including where those outcomes involve risk — rather than defaulting to removal or restriction. It is the operational expression of the Care Act's wellbeing and autonomy principles. MSP evidence (ADASS annual surveys since 2013) shows improving outcome satisfaction scores where it is properly implemented, though adoption is uneven. Practitioners should document the adult's stated desired outcomes explicitly.
