Self-neglect and hoarding are found in 1 of 5 social work cases in mental health and older people's services. These cases can be the most alarming and challenging on a social workers' caseload.

A skilled, thorough risk assessment of the behaviours of self-neglect is needed in order to ensure effective care and support is available. This guide offers practical and applicable tools and solutions for all professionals involved in working with people who self-neglect. Included are tips for assessment and decision-making in the support process, with updates following the implementation of the Care Act 2014, which deemed self-neglect a safeguarding matter.

Market: Social workers and other professionals involved in adult safeguarding cases, such as psychologists, health care workers, and policy makers as well as students in health and social care, psychology, nursing, social work and law.

1. Self-Neglect and Hoarding 2. How Self-Neglect Affects People's Lives. 3. Themes Arising from Serious Case Reviews or Safeguarding Adult Reviews. 4. Safeguarding those who Self-Neglect under the Care Act 2016. 5. Therapeutic Engagement. 6. Assessment. 7. Defensible Decision Making. 8. Supporting the Practitioner. 9. Conclusions.

Self-Neglect and Hoarding contains much of the information practitioners will need in working with self-neglect. Barnett's emphasis throughout is on a person-centred approach to this important issue.
