Introduction
Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) is part of a growing practice re-orientation from risk averse cultures towards more collaborative, strengths-based and person-centred cultures, enabling positive risk-taking.
Making Safeguarding Personal means it should be person-led and outcomes focused. It engages the person in a conversation about how best to respond to their safeguarding situation in a way that enhances involvement, choice and control as well as improving quality of life, wellbeing and safety
What is MSP Toolkit of Resources?
To support the adoption and implementation of this model, a Design and Education Support Group from the National Safeguarding Office has developed a MSP toolkit of resources for an Irish context. The toolkit contains 12 practice tools based on the work originally undertaken in this area by the UK Local Government Association. The toolkit guides social workers and other health care professionals on how to focus on the user and their perception of what is happening. The focus is on what is important to the user to enhance their engagement, choice and control, with an overall aim of resolution and recovery
