A referral can be made by:

• An organisation that has worked with the adult
• The adult concerned, their family, advocate, carer, friend
• Individual acting on the adult’s behalf, such as a Coroner or MP

How to make a referral:

• Referrals must be made using the Camden SAPB Safeguarding Adults Review Referral form.
• Professionals who refer must have senior management endorsement of the referral
• Cases should be referred in a timely manner, with an appropriate rationale.

What happens when I refer a case:

• The referral will be considered by the SAR Sub-group, which consists of representatives from the Local Authority, Police, Integrated Care Board (ICB) etc.
• The referrer will be informed of the decision made by the subgroup.  
• Where the criteria is not met, referrer will be informed along with the rationale and any recommendations
• If the criteria is met, the subgroup will determine the method and scope of review to be undertaken.
