Safeguarding Adults Board Sub groups

To manage their work effectively, the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) have a range of subgroups. Each subgroup has clear terms of reference, a review date and reporting arrangements to the SAB. The members of subgroups can draw in wider expertise from partner agencies and communities of interest that are not members of the SAB. The remit of the subgroups can include;

  • training and staff development
  • performance monitoring
  • leadership and implementation of Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP)
  • communication and awareness-raising
  • Safeguarding Adult Reviews and other review processes

Executive Group

The Executive Group consists of the SAB Independent Chair, Business Manager, statutory partner representatives and Chairs of the subgroups. This group has delegated decision-making functions and has oversight of subgroup activity and progression of the SAB priorities. 

Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR) Subgroup

The Safeguarding Adult Review (SAR) sub group meets monthly and advises the Safeguarding Adults Board on processes, procedures and outcomes related to conducting Safeguarding Adult Reviews. A SAR is carried out when an adult at risk dies or has experienced serious neglect or abuse, and there is a concern that agencies could have worked more effectively to protect the adult. A SAR is a multi-agency learning process that aims to identify and promote good practice, encourage effective learning and make recommendations for future practice so that deaths or serious harm can be prevented from happening again.
