Safeguarding Adults Week 2024 is a time for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues.
The core theme for the 2024 week is Working in Partnership, as working in partnerships allows us to share our knowledge of safeguarding, learn from others and ultimately create safer cultures.
During Safeguarding Adults Week 2024, we will be collaborating with partners to deliver two learning workshops with a focus on the two most recent Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) Ivan and Jodie. The training sessions will encourage us to consider how we can work together to establish safer cultures within our services and community.
Sign up for SAR Jodie learning session: Safeguarding professionals across Strategic Partnerships are invited to learn about Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR) Jodie, the recommendations made in the review, with additional training on the value of professional curiosity and best practice in support for carers. The session will be delivered by professionals from Adult Social Care and Carers First.

Time: 10am to 12pm
Where: Teams
