A report into adult safeguarding in the wake of the Grace inquiry
The long awaited inquiry into the treatment of a young woman with severe disabilities has published its final report.
The Farrelly Commission of investigation found insufficient evidence to support claims of sexual, physical and emotional abuse of this woman, known as Grace, during her time in foster care. However it did find neglect of grace in relation to her personal and dental hygiene.
The eight year investigation brings the issue of adult safeguarding into the spotlight once again. Our reporter Jessica Woodlock has been looking into adult safeguarding in the wake of this case.
