Taking into consideration the recommendations for a new legal framework and plans to put Safeguarding Adults Boards on a statutory footing, this event provides the necessary guidance for delivering the Government’s vision whilst respecting local contexts and challenges.

Agenda highlights reflect the latest policy development, research and practice including:

• Strengthening governance and effectiveness of Safeguarding Adults Boards
• Engaging health services in adult safeguarding
• Approaches to self-neglect
• The changing regulatory framework and priorities
