Safeguarding Adults Week

18-22 November 2024

This year the focus from the Ann Craft Trust will be on working in partnership. 

"Safeguarding Adults Week is a time for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. 

We believe that working in partnerships allows us to share our knowledge of safeguarding, learn from others and ultimately create safer cultures. 

During Safeguarding Adults Week 2024, we'll be collaborating with our partners to explore a different safeguarding theme each day.  The themes will encourage us to consider how we can work together to establish safer cultures within our workplaces and communities."

You can learn more about the themes for the week from Ann Craft Trust by following the link above, and below are some links to information, guidance and other material from SSP.
