West Midlands Regional Adult Safeguarding Information Hub

This page has been established to host copies of all regionally agreed Policies and Procedures relating to Safeguarding Adults.

The policies and procedures have been developed jointly by the fourteen West Midlands Safeguarding Adults Board / Local Authority areas working together to introduce a consistent approach and practice within the adult safeguarding environment.

It is strongly advised that you check whether your Safeguarding Adults Board area has chosen to adopt these policies and procedures before making use of the documents. You should be able to clarify this through your organisational safeguarding lead.
