This area of the website has been set up specifically for nominated safeguarding adult leads.  It contains a wide range of practice guidance and tools to support the Safeguarding Adult Lead in their role.

The Safeguarding Adult Lead (SAL) takes the lead on safeguarding for their organisation and should be:

• Someone with authority in the group such as a manager or team leader
• A paid member of staff if possible
• Checked with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
• Have at least two references which are followed up.

Responsibilities of the SAL can be viewed in the HSAB Safeguarding Adult Lead Role Profile.

It is not the responsibility of the Safeguarding Adult Lead to decide whether a person has been abused or not – that is the responsibility of statutory agencies such as adult social care or the police. However keeping adults safe is everybody’s business and all staff should know who to go to and how to report any concerns they may have about an adult being harmed or at risk of being harmed.
