Find out more about virtual attendance

This conference focuses on improving adult safeguarding in line with the 2022 National Guidance – Revisiting Adult Safeguarding Practice which supports a locally delivered approach, setting out national expectations from the adult social work profession and the people and services who stand to benefit. The conference will focus on good practice principles and learn from where implementation has been successful in practice. Expert sessions will also revisit safeguarding under the Care Act, Safeguarding leadership including compassion and empathy, user involvement in safeguarding and ensuring service improvement.

“Safeguarding isn’t easy, but its effectiveness is its own reward if more lives can be saved and freed from the blight of abuse, neglect and organisational negligence. As practitioners, your empathy, compassion and experience have never been more needed.”

Gillian Keegan MP Minister of State for Care and Mental Health January 2022

Revisiting our practice is essential…We heard many stories from people with lived experience about how it feels when safeguarding responses go wrong, and how practice has become more about gate-keeping and process than people. Most of all, we saw wide variations of practice across the country, both through the data and, anecdotally, through people’s stories. If we are to truly get adult safeguarding right, it is vital local authorities and social workers apply safeguarding practice, as set out in the Care Act and its associated statutory guidance.”

Fran Leddra, Mark Harvey Deputy Chief Social Workers for Adults January 2022

“Although each person and their concern may be unique, it is important that good practice principles remain consistent as well as the application of our duties under the care act in adult safeguarding across the country”

Fran Leddra, Mark Harvey Deputy Chief Social Workers for Adults January 2022
