Safeguarding Adults Week 2024
18-22 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.
At our Safeguarding Adults “Speed Geeking” event you will have the opportunity to learn about different topics linked to safeguarding adults in a short time slot, whilst also being able to ask questions and discuss the issue in a more informal setting.
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 X – @newcastle_sab.
To find out more about each session and to book on, please use the links in the table below.
