Sub-Committees
The Board is supported in it’s work by four sub-committees. They meet regularly and report to the main Board at every meeting.
Improving Practice Committee
This Committee works to further develop policies, procedures and guidelines in light of new research, legislation and practice developments. The group reviews good and bad practice in safeguarding adults work to help reduce the instances of adult abuse. The group supports agencies to work together.
