- Introduction
-
The Local Safeguarding Adults Board (a multi-agency partnership) may be required to undertake a Safeguarding Adult Review when an adult dies or is seriously harmed. The investigation will take place if harm is caused as a result of abuse or neglect and there is a concern that agencies could have worked together more effectively to protect the adult. This is a requirement under the Care Act 2014 and formal processes are in place in order to carry out such reviews.
