East Midlands Programme of events for Safeguarding Adults Week
23 October 2020
Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board is delighted to be taking the opportunity that Safeguarding Adults Awareness Week presents, to focus on Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP). We know that as Practitioners, while you navigate your way through the COVID-19 pandemic you will be considering the ethics and impact of new and different ways of working on your practice and the people you support.
With the barriers Covid -19 has at times created in terms of engaging the people we support, it is vital that we develop creative strategies to ensure the maximum participation of the person and their carers in Safeguarding Adults. The activities and learning that we will provide this week are designed to support you to develop the skills and commitment to work in partnership with the person to improve and resolve their circumstances.
See a variety of events taking place from 16 - 20 November as part of Safeguarding Adults Awareness Week.
Webinar- Making Safeguarding Personal
On Wednesday 18th November, 9-10am, the Board will be hosting a MSP webinar to help participants understand the background of MSP and how it is considered the backbone of all our current approaches to adult safeguarding, as well as expectations over implementation.

MSP 7 Minute Briefing
We are mindful of increasing pressure on services, particularly during this pandemic, which can make it difficult to release staff to attend training. We hope this short 7-minute briefing gives a helpful overview for team leaders to initiate a discussion with staff and support learning.

Toolkit refresh & relaunch
In January 2020 the LGA updated its MSP toolkit to reflect a greater emphasis on strengths-based practice across Adult Social Care. The new toolkit is a web-based resource that includes a narrative around specific areas of practice, tools, and case examples to support learning and development. The resources can be used individually or built into learning and development activities within organisations.

This poignant video promotes reflection on the discomfort that we may experience when those we care for and support take risks and the need to balance keeping people safe with the potential impact on their happiness.
