Digitalisation of London Multi-Agency Safeguarding Adults Policy, Practice Guidance and Procedures
The London Safeguarding Adults Policy, Practice Guidance and Procedures now has its own dedicated website. The new digital platform brings together the London multi-agency safeguarding adults procedures in an accessible, searchable online format, making it easier for practitioners and organisations across London to find and use the guidance. The website has been developed on behalf of London’s Safeguarding Adults Boards, working with a digital platform provider, Policy Partners Project (PPP).

Domestic Abuse Awareness Month – October
Domestic abuse can affect anyone, at any age, and may be physical, emotional, psychologic, economic, sexual or technology facilitated. In Domestic Abuse Awareness Month this year, the RSAB is focusing on three groups of people that could be additionally at risk of this form of abuse as one of our Board’s priorities: older people; those with a learning disability; and those in the role of family carer. The Redbridge Domestic Abuse Service – Reach Out – is there for all. Professionals can refer in via 0800 145 6410 (Monday – Friday, 09:00 – 17:00)
A new quick reference guide has been published to support professionals needing to make a referral or signposting for support with domestic abuse:
