​Professional Curiosity & Partnership in Safeguarding Adults is an essential text for students and practitioners across social work, nursing, and allied health and social care. In a post-pandemic world and within the evolving legal and policy landscape, it explores how professional curiosity and effective partnership working are central to safeguarding adults. The book addresses a real gap in guidance by offering clear definitions, practical tools, and reflective exercises that help readers apply professional curiosity in everyday practice. Through real-life examples drawn from serious case reviews, Safeguarding Adults Reviews, domestic homicide reviews, and extensive research, it illustrates what curiosity looks like in action and why it matters. Each chapter provides opportunities for readers to test their understanding, develop confidence in recognising and responding to risk, and strengthen their ability to collaborate across agencies. Grounded in evidence and practice wisdom, this book is a valuable companion for students, early-career practitioners, and professionals seeking to refresh their approach to safeguarding in complex, real-world contexts.
