CONTROLLED It is clear that her family cared and supported her but at the inquest the evidence exposed important issues with information sharing between services. Her mother, her carer should have been given more support and assisted in understanding what was in Emma’s best interests. The evidence at the inquest revealed a lack of connectivity between information systems used by different agencies; that impacted on their ability to review how other professionals would intervene in Emma's care. There had been a history of non-attendance and reluctance on the part of family members to engage with services. As a result, safeguarding referrals were made in 2018 by the Day Centre she had attended and in 2019 by a social worker after her discussions with the advanced nurse practitioner at the GP surgery. Although the evidence from the GP surgery, Derby City Council and their safeguarding team confirm that since Emma's death a number of relevant changes were being made to look after patients with learning difficulties particularly where they have not been brought to multiple appointments, in so far as the contents of the present safeguarding referral form which needs to be completed by a GP for vulnerable and learning difficulties adults, that present form is not tailored to the type of concerns that a GP would raise. The safeguarding template questions ask a variety of questions that are not relevant to a GP but to other agencies e.g. care homes, the police and community mental health teams. As a result there is a risk of there being a lack of key information provided to the safeguarding teams. Thus the safeguarding team may be delayed in responding in a timely way.
