Decision details

The Committee will be asked to note the contents of the Draft Safeguarding Adults Board Business Plan 2016-18.

The Chairman introduced the report which set out the new Safeguarding Adults Board Business Plan for 2016-18 and invited Chris Miller, Independent Chair, Safeguarding Adults Board and Emma Coles, Safeguarding Adults Board Project and Policy Officer to join the table.

Mr Miller noted that for each financial year, the Safeguarding Adults Board must publish a strategic plan in accordance with the provisions of the Care Act 2014 and that the discussions at the Board have informed and developed the new priorities and business plan 2016-2018. Mr Miller also noted the importance of the input from GPs and the voluntary sector and the continued partnership working with the Board.

Following a comment from the Committee, a motion was moved by Councillor Longstaff and seconded to add the wording ‘Fire Brigade’ to the recommendation. Having been agreed, the motion was declared carried.

It was unanimously RESOLVED:

That the Committee noted the new Safeguarding Adults Board Business Plan for 2016-18, which is intended to ensure a continued, robust multi-agency approach to safeguarding adults in Barnet, with involvement from the Council, NHS Barnet, Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS Trusts, the Police, Fire Brigade and the Voluntary Sector.
