Safeguarding
Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) are a statutory requirement for Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs) under the Care Act 2014.
They must be undertaken when:
An adult or adults with care and support needs dies as a result of abuse or neglect and there is a concern that partnership agencies could have worked more effectively to protect the adult/s.
OR
An adult or adults with care and support needs has not died but the Safeguarding Adult Board knows or suspects that the adult has experienced serious abuse or neglect with a concern that partnership agencies could have worked more effectively to protect the adult.
The aim of a SAR is for all agencies to learn lessons about the way they safeguard adults at risk and prevent such tragedies happening in the future.
All Camden's published SARS can be found on the Camden Safeguarding Adults Partnership Board website.
