About Us
The Sandwell Safeguarding Adults Board is a multi-agency partnership, made up of statutory sector member organisations and other non-statutory partner agencies, providing strategic leadership for adult safeguarding work and ensuring there is a consistent professional response to actual or suspected abuse. The remit of the board is not operational but one of co-ordination, quality assurance, planning, policy and development.
The board was formed originally in 2008 and relaunched in its present format in 2015 in response to The Care Act 2014 legislation.
It contributes to the partnership’s wider goals of improving the well-being of adults in the borough and promotes and develops campaigns, an example of which is the current campaign ‘See Something, Do Something’.
Below is the short film used to further promote this campaign and enable everybody’s understanding of safeguarding. This film is used as a standard tool in all of our training and has been adopted and used widely by our partners.
