PSAP Strategic Priorities and Structure 2022 to 2025

Our statement: Partnership provides the strategic platform for us to be committed to ensuring improvements in the safeguarding of adults at risk of abuse, neglect or exploitation by assurance, challenge, support and learning.

Our Principles: Empowerment, prevention, proportionality, protection, partnership, accountability.

Prevention

Ensure PSAP partners are encouraged to take opportunities to work in preventative ways to minimise abuse, neglect and exploitation of adults at risk.

Promote a culture of collective accountability and respectful challenge aimed at implementing preventative strategies and systems.

Engagement

Ensure adult safeguarding information is co-produced and communicated appropriately through a range of approaches and formats.

Local people with care and support needs and their carers are engaged to provide assurance and feedback on their experience of safeguarding

Assurance

Leadership focused on personalised practice, a whole system approach across and within organisations.

Continued analysis and assessment of outcomes of multi-agency practice, including intervention where safety and quality is compromised.

Learning

Provide learning activity which demonstrates improvement in the outcome and experience for the person, safeguarding practice and multi-agency working.

Support a culture of continuous learning and improvement with access to a wide range of learning disseminated through a range of methods
