Section 44 of The Care Act 2014 requires Safeguarding Adults Boards to undertake a Safeguarding Adult Review when specific criteria are met. This is when abuse results in the death or significant and possibly life-changing harm of an adult with care and support needs.
Read about the .
Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SAR) are not enquiries into how someone died or suffered injury, or to find out who is responsible.
Instead they:
- look at any lessons we can learn from the case about the way professionals and agencies worked together
- review the effectiveness of our safeguarding adults’ procedures
- inform and improve practice
- identify what can be done better to avoid a similar circumstance from reoccurring
The SAB aims to share learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews widely with local organisations and through National Safeguarding Network.
