Minutes:
Ivan Powell, Independent Chair of the Shropshire Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) introduced and amplified the Keeping Adults Safe in Shropshire (KASIS) Annual Report 2017/18 (copy attached to signed minutes) and gave a brief presentation, which covered the following areas:
· The 4 Board Priorities;
· Adult Safeguarding in Shropshire;
· Training;
· Safeguarding Adult Reviews;
· Multi-Agency working;
· Areas of focus moving forward
The Independent Chair reported that the personalisation agenda had led to a big shift in approach and that there was now a duty on local authorities under the Care Act to support people in the safeguarding process.
In response to a query, the Independent Chair explained that the Police Service had no bespoke policy on safeguarding and had a different definition of Vulnerable Adult. He explained that the Mental Health service would provide a response rather than the police however some Police forces operated a triage system in order to respond more appropriately.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
