Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board update
8 February 2021
Summary of Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board’s Development Session, held virtually on 14 January 2021, including an update from the Safeguarding Adults Board Meeting held immediately afterwards.
Summary
- Reports providing the annual updates detailing work completed from the Quality Assurance; Safeguarding Adults Reviews; Learning and Development; and Communications Sub-Groups were presented to the Board by the Chairs of the Sub-Groups.
- Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, it was proposed by the Chair of the Board that an Interim Strategic Plan should be put in place for 2021-2022, with a new three-year Strategic Plan to commence in a year’s time. The Strategic Priorities for the Interim Plan were proposed as Engagement; Assurance; and Prevention. This was agreed by the Board, and some initial discussions regarding the Engagement Priority took place.
- In addition to an Interim Strategic Plan, it was proposed that the Board should have one Business Plan, with actions allocated to specific sub-groups for work to take place. This was agreed by the Board.
- The Board agreed to a new logo, and the re-branding and new website will be launched at the beginning of the next financial year in April 2021 to coincide with the launch of the Interim Strategic Plan.
