Ms Camille Loftus:

We do not have adult safeguarding legislation yet. That is a failure but it is also an opportunity. We think about safeguarding solely in relation to healthcare settings. This is one of the most important realms in which we need to think about safeguarding. My father passed away about a year and a half ago. I helped him to do his taxes online for the first time in his entire life during the latter stages of his life. As I walked through the process, my God, I started to think about the opportunities, although I was being super-ethical in this regard. He had never disclosed his income or his account details to me before, even though we were the best of buddies. Now, here I was, providing the assistance, with access to all of that information. We have nothing in place to safeguard people in that regard. Mr. Mellon is right: family is a real risk in this space.
