The local safeguarding arrangements have been developed through the strong leadership of the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB). The Board is a multi-agency partnership concerned with the safeguarding of adults who are at risk in Enfield. This includes responding to concerns and reports about abuse and developing prevention strategies. The Care Act 2014 has placed SAB on a statutory footing.
SAB includes membership from:
- Enfield Council
- London Metropolitan Police
- NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board
- North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
- Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
- North London Mental Health Partnership
- Voluntary Organisations
- Care Quality Commission
- London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
- London Fire Brigade
- NHS England
- Probation
SAB has three core duties which the Care Act 2014 sets out. These include developing and publishing an annual strategic plan, publishing an annual report which sets out what we have achieved, and commissioning a Safeguarding Adults Review where serious abuse or death has occurred and to ensure lessons learnt.
The SAB has a strategy, which sets out how we will work together to prevent abuse and ensure a robust response when abuse does occur. The strategy will be reviewed annually and has an action plan monitored at each board meeting.
Safeguarding Adult Reviews
The Care Act states that a review must be arranged by the SAB when an adult in the area dies as a result of abuse or neglect (whether known or suspected), and there is concern that partner agencies could have worked more effectively to protect the adult.
A review must also be arranged if the SAB knows or suspects that an adult has not died, but has experienced serious abuse or neglect.
We report on safeguarding adult reviews (previously called serious case reviews) in our SAB annual report. Where we can, and with the consent of family members, we will also make them available here.
