Swindon Safeguarding Partnership

This Spotlight event held on 9 July 2024 focused on the theme of self-neglect.

"Don’t judge me by the chapter you have walked in on. I have a past and a future and not defined by my current situation”.  Quote from Experts by Experience.

Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) conducted in Swindon have highlighted that professionals face a big challenge in identifying and taking timely action on self-neglect.

This event is an opportunity to find out more about:

• learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews into practice
• welfare and Safety Planning (identifying and assessing risk)
• Swindon Safeguarding Partnership Multi-Agency Policy and Guidance on Responding to Self-Neglect
• the voice of experts by experience
• resources to support identification of self-neglect and reflection on key learning themes

This event is relevant for all frontline professionals and managers who work with adults.
