Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs)

During 2022-23,

Southwark Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) has a statutory duty to conduct a review when a person with care and support needs has died or experienced serious harm from abuse and / or neglect and there are concerns about how agencies have worked together. This is set out in the Care Act 2014 and is called a Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR). It is focused on learning and improving safeguarding responses, not on blame.

If you want the Board to consider a case for review, please complete this form and return it to SSAB@southwark.gov.uk.

During 2022-23, Southwark has undertaken a couple of SARs which are currently in progress and will be published here in due course. Please see below for links to previous reviews.
