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.

The Safeguarding Adult function and process was the subject of a Peer Review (ADASS and LGA) in June 2014. The focus of this was on governance and accountability in a changing organisational environment and on keeping people safe in their own homes. The review produced valuable feedback which will inform the SAB Business Plan. 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. Work will be done through SAB during 2015/16 to implement these new measures in Torbay. Alongside the Care Act 2014, this is a new piece of legislation which will amend a range of issues affecting children and young people. It complements the Care Act’s ‘ whole family’ approach to needs assessment and will require Adult Social Care Services to work in close partnership with Children’s Services to develop pathways around transition to adulthood, a key aspect of the Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) reforms which are incorporated into this legislation. There is also a need to develop protocols for carrying out other work relating to children, e.g., parenting assessments, which are often a requirement in care proceedings where parent/carers have disabilities. Since August 2014, the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for safeguarding adults has been co-located with the police as part of a pilot service. This is now yielding positive results in placeterms of timeliness of triage for incoming alerts and joint work between Adult Social Care and the Police. Work is also in progress to establish a MASH for adults and children, a very welcome venture given our aspiration to develop a whole family approach. The Trust also has delegated responsibility as a provider of ASC services and Torbay Council are working together with the CCG to implement an action plan based on the recommendations from the inquiry into Winterbourne View. Work will continue on this plan to ensure that it participates future milestones are met for returning individuals to their home area (when safe) and to review our contracts with providers to ensure that they reflect and are monitored on the principles and requirements of Safeguarding Adult policy and best practice. In order to ensure that a number of initiatives around the protection of vulnerable people are co-ordinated and that learning is disseminated from these, the SAB has established Keeping People Safe, a new sub group. This will meet quarterly during 2015/16. There will be a continued focus on ensuring that all staff have the appropriate level of training for their role, as a full partner set out in the TSAB and meet all regulatory requirements in safeguarding adults and childrenTorbay Safeguarding Adults Multi-Agency Training Policy, with the target of 90% achievement set by the Board.
