Procedures

In County Durham we have produced a Policy and Procedures for Safeguarding Adults.

The County Durham Safeguarding Adults Board includes representatives from various organisations including Police, Health and District Councils. This Board is required to review and monitor our Policy and Procedures to ensure we are doing our best to safeguard vulnerable adults from abuse.

The following PDFs set out the Policy and Procedures agreed to by all signatory organisations to safeguard vulnerable adults, and explain how we work with other agencies to safeguard adults from abuse.
