Safeguarding Adults Week 2022
21- 27 November is national Safeguarding Adults Week where organisations across the country come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding adults issues.
In Newcastle, the Board’s Improving Practice Committee is hosting (or involved in) a number of webinars and events to promote safeguarding adults best practice. The schedule below lists the different opportunities to get involved and includes links to book, register an interest or join.
For the first time in two years there will be some in-person events, with safeguarding adults being represented at events to recognise White Ribbon (the global movement to end violence against women and girls) and Carers Rights Day.
The webinars will be hosted on Microsoft Teams and are aimed at professionals and volunteers. The sessions cover a wide range of topics linked to safeguarding adults, particularly those which might relate to emerging issues or developing practice.
Throughout the week we will also be taking to social media to highlight important safeguarding adults messages. If you’re not already doing so, please follow us on Twitter – @newcastle_sab.
