Vulnerable person's 2-3 day absence from placement not reported to safeguarding

If a vulnerable individual leaves a placement they dislike and remains absent for two or three days, what are the consequences if this incident is not reported to safeguarding, and what actions could or should be taken?

The most serious consequences are:

  1. Death
  2. Serious Injury
  3. Abuse
  4. Somebody gets sued, struck off, or deregistered, for one or more of the above.

Actions? I don’t know about other people. I can only speak for me. I would go into War Mode - which means a basket of things such as:

  1. Disregarding politics or optics
  2. Focused purely on duties.
  3. Dropping bombshell letters (not emails) on those in authority, by post and in person by hand.

Of course there may be dozens of fine bones to each of the above - so I’m avoiding 2000 words that nobody will read.

As a result of my modus operandi, I have no friends, seek no friends and want no friends - because I act independently for the Rights of others. Zero allegiances. Insults an jibes below the radar expected. You asked I answered what I would do. What I would do is my opinion and not advice to anyone else.

I appreciate your perspective. I should add that I have already taken this to the highest levels of authority, yet my concerns have still been ignored. That silence itself speaks volumes about the systemic failures at play.
Exhaustion of every channel, and still silence — proof that safeguarding itself is broken.

I understand your stance and the uncompromising way you act,
Like you, I swallowed the red pill; once truth is seen, denial is no longer possible.
