The Newcastle Safeguarding Adults Board is a statutory multi-agency partnership responsible for safeguarding adults from abuse and neglect. There are a number of agencies including the Council, Health Services and the Police, who sit on the Board. Each year the Board work together to produce an annual plan which sets out the key areas that the Board will focus on in terms of service development.

Earlier this year, we asked for your views on what sorts of things you thought the Newcastle Safeguarding Adults Board should focus on to help keep people safe from harm and your feedback has helped shape the 2018-2019 plan. This year’s plan includes the following priorities:

  • Implementation of an Adult Multi-Agency Safeguarding Adults Hub (Adult MASH)
  • Address the recommendations from the Joint Serious Case Review into Sexual Exploitation
  • Collate and analyse feedback from adults and their representatives about their experience of the safeguarding adults process
  • Explore the opportunities for the NSAB to contribute to lowering the risks associated with social isolation / loneliness
  • Receive assurance around the support available to front-line practitioners in managing “complex cases”, particularly those involving adults who misuse substances
  • Work together with the Newcastle Safeguarding Children Board, Safe Newcastle and Youth Offending Board to identify what actions can be taken to prevent the abuse or neglect of adults with care and support needs as a result of “gang” activity
  • Analyse the implications of the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) for safeguarding adults policies and procedures and provide advice and support to partner agencies where required. 
  • Continue to implement the NSAB Communications Strategy.
