Leeds Safeguarding Adults Partnership works together to promote awareness and good practice:
- in safeguarding 'adults at risk' from abuse or neglect
- in the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
Serious Case Reviews
The Leeds Safeguarding Adults Partnership Board commissions serious case reviews where there is potential for multi-agency learning as to how professionals and organisations have worked together to safeguard one or more adult at risk.
The overall purpose of a serious case review is to promote learning and improve practice, not to re-investigate or to apportion blame. The objectives include establishing:
- lessons that can be learnt from how professionals and their agencies work together
- how effective the safeguarding procedures are
- learning and good practice issues
- how to improve local inter-agency practice
- service improvement or development needs for an agency
The criteria for a serious case review are set out in the Serious Case Review procedure.
