Following on from the publication of the Thematic Review into Self-Neglect where an independent reviewer undertook a review into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of 7 individuals all of whom were living in some form of self-neglect, the Isle of Man Safeguarding Board has approved a strategy which can be found in the documents section of this page.
A poster has also been published, and further information will be forthcoming over the next few months, leading up to winter.
