The Silent Struggle: Spotting Self-Neglect

What does self-neglect really look like, and when should we be concerned? In this episode, Chris is joined by Adam Seomore, a trained adult nurse and Head of Safeguarding at Provide Community, to explore the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of self-neglect. From hoarding to changes in routine, they unpack how to recognise when someone might be struggling and how to approach the conversation with care. You’ll also hear practical advice on navigating the tricky line between unwise decisions and safeguarding concerns, and how underlying issues often play a bigger role than we think.Connect with Adam: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajames-s-a06b392a9/Provide Community: https://providecommunity.org.uk/-------Safeguarding Redefined is brought to you by Cornerstone Safeguarding - supporting those who carry the weight of supporting others.We’re redefining safeguarding - not as a checklist, but as a culture.One built on supervision, strategy, and support, so you’re never doing it alone.–Need fresh safeguarding insights, priority access to support, and exclusive discounts - all in one place?Join Cornerstone Connect  - our FREE membership programme designed to keep you informed, equipped, and ahead. Enjoy early bird discounts, priority event booking, and regular safeguarding updates straight to your inbox!Producers of this episode: Chris East, Leah EastHost of this episode: Chris EastFollow On LinkedInChris EastLeah East Cornerstone SafeguardingLearn more at https://www.cornerstonesafeguarding.co.uk
