Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Adults Board

The overarching purpose of a Safeguarding Adults Board is to help and safeguard adults with care and support needs. The Safeguarding Adults Board must lead adult safeguarding arrangements across its locality and oversee and coordinate the effectiveness of the safeguarding work of its member and partner agencies.
It does this by:
• assuring itself that local safeguarding arrangements are in place as defined by the Care Act 2014 and statutory guidance
• assuring itself that safeguarding practice is person-centred and outcome-focused
• working collaboratively to prevent abuse and neglect where possible
• ensuring agencies and individuals give timely and proportionate responses when abuse or neglect have occurred
• assuring itself that safeguarding practice is continuously improving and enhancing the quality of life of adults in its area.
