Setting Priorities

The Safeguarding Partnership sets priorities for each year based on local and national data including learning from practice, and the views of community groups and adults with lived experience. These priorities then guide our work and the training we offer.

Multiagency Subgroups

We arrange multiagency subgroups to drive forward work in priority areas. The subgroups include members with relevant expertise and influence to bring about continual development of safeguarding practice across the partnership. The groups report to the Safeguarding Adults Board on a quarterly basis.

Quality Assurance

To effectively quality assure safeguarding practice, the Safeguarding Partnership undertakes a variety of activities to support a dynamic continual evaluation of practice, and coordinates learning from practice across the network and seeks assurance as to how learning is being embedded across the safeguarding partners. The findings of quality assurance work are presented to the Safeguarding Adults Board and the Safeguarding Children Partnership Board.
