What the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB) does
What is the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB)?
The Care Act 2014 states that all councils in England and Wales should set up a SAB with the overarching purpose to help and safeguard adults with care and support needs.
The BSAB operates at a strategic level to oversee the adult safeguarding arrangements in Brent by coordinating and ensuring the effectiveness of the safeguarding work of its partners and member agencies.
Whilst the BSAB has a role in coordinating and ensuring the effectiveness of work to safeguard adults with care and support needs, it is not accountable for the partnership member organisation’s operational work. Each safeguarding partner organisation retains its own existing lines of accountability for their services.
