Safeguarding adults in Camden
The Camden Safeguarding Adults Partnership Board (SAPB) are taking part in Safeguarding Adults Week, from 15th to 21st November. The SAPB will be delivering a number of briefings and sharing relevant literature throughout the course of the week.
The Ann Craft Trust is working in partnership with the Safeguarding Adults Board nationwide to promote the week, which is themed "Creating Safer Cultures", and have highlighted several themes for focus and exploration: Safeguarding Adults Week 2021 - Ann Craft Trust
Everyone should be aware of the role they can play in helping to prevent abuse. We should all know how to spot the signs of abuse, and the actions we should take if we suspect and adult is being abused.
In Camden the SAPB are hosting a number of events to promote awareness of safeguarding adults. The events will be hosted on Microsoft Teams and are open to all.
We are in the process of confirming the full schedule. Please keep checking back on our webpage Camden SAPB Safeguarding Adults Week for additional updates.

Everyone has the right to live a life that is free from abuse, harm and neglect.
If you think an adult is in immediate danger you should call the police on 999 (urgent) or dial 101 (non-urgent).
An adult with care and support needs may be more at risk of, or already experiencing, abuse or neglect because they:
- are unable to take care of themselves or protect themselves from harm,
- depend on others for their care,
- lack the mental capacity to take a particular decision.
