Policy guidance
The Safeguarding Adults Board have produced guidance for partner organisations who are developing their single agency safeguarding adult policy and procedures. The guidance provides recommended content and a suggested structure for safeguarding adult policy and procedures.
Each organisation is different and therefore will need to use this document to create a policy and procedure that will accurately reflect the needs of their organisation, their staff members and service users and their families.

Policy and Procedure assessment
If partner agencies would like to assess the effectiveness of their policy and procedures, the Adult Safeguarding Improvement Tool can be adapted to support a self assessment process.
