Luton Safeguarding Adults Board publish key safeguarding guidance for all practitioners

The Luton Safeguarding Adults Board is pleased to launch the local practice guidance The Luton framework for shared understanding about safeguarding concerns Shared Understanding Safeguarding Concerns

This practice guidance seeks to support practitioners, partners, and providers, to report and respond to concerns at the appropriate level and to have a consistency of approach across agencies. This guidance is not a substitute for professional judgement but should be used to assist decision making and to support professional judgement.
The guidance should be used to:

• Help determine a consistent approach to identifying what concerns may require a response under the
  safeguarding process
• Support decision making when alternative processes should be used
• Highlight and link to other resources available to practitioners including the Pan Bedfordshire Safeguarding Adults and Procedures these can be found at https://panbedfordshiresabs.trixonline.co.uk/

We will also be running a series of events to raise awareness of  how to use the guidance, referral pathways, how to make a good referral and resolving professional disputes and escalation. 

This first session covers the new guidance document, good risk management and safety planning, safeguarding thresholds and what makes a good safeguarding adult referral.

Other sessions will cover:

• resolving professional disputes and escalation
• the role and remit of Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs), common themes and learning from Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR)
• what practitioners might expect if they are involved in a Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR)

Dates and booking information will be published on this page shortly.
