Safeguarding. The Trust will continue to deliver the delegated responsibilities of Torbay Council regarding Safeguarding Adults. The Care Act 2014 put Safeguarding Adults into a statutory framework for the first time from April 2015. This placed a range of responsibilities and duties on the Local Authority with which the Trust will need to comply. This includes requirements in the following areas: Duty to carry out enquiries; Co-operation with key partner agencies; Safeguarding Adults Boards; Safeguarding Adult Reviews; Information Sharing; Supervision and training for staff. Accountability for this will sit with the Torbay Safeguarding Adults Board (TSAB). This is a well-established group that will provide a sound basis for delivering the new legislative requirements. The Board will incorporate the requirements into its Terms of Reference and Business Plan for 2017/18, ensuring that all relevant operational and policy changes are in place for April implementation. Regular performance analysis from all partner agencies will be reported to the TSAB to give a clear picture of performance across the agencies. The Council will ensure high level representation on the Board by the Director of Adult Social Services and Executive Lead for Adult Social Care. In order to maximise capacity Torbay SAB will work closely with the Devon SAB with an increased number of joint sub-committees and shared business support. In addition to this, to provide internal assurance that the Trust is fulfilling its Safeguarding Adult requirements, the Board will have a sub-committee which will oversee performance. This will have a particular focus on training and performance activity. The Council has signed up to the national initiative of ‘Making Safeguarding Personal’. This is an exciting initiative designed to measure Safeguarding Adult performance by outcomes for the individual, rather than the current reliance on quantitative measurement of timescales for strategy meetings and case conferences. This is now in place. The Trust also has delegated responsibility as a provider of ASC services to ensure that it participates as a full partner in the TSAB and meet all regulatory requirements in safeguarding adults and children.
