Policies, procedures and guidance

There can be no tolerance of abuse. 

Accomplishing this requires the careful consideration, time and commitment of all the people and agencies involved in the person’s life. 

The following pages provide you with policies, procedures and guidance to help you do this:

1. Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) Policies, Procedures & Guidance 

The OSAB provide a framework within which all agencies and professionals can work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of 'adults at risk/vulnerable adults' across Oxfordshire.

2. National Policies, Procedures & Guidance

Legislation, guidance and resources to guide and support social services, local NHS bodies, police forces and other partners to prevent and investigate abuse.

3. Research

A selection of research studies in the field of adult safeguarding. This is not an exhaustive list, and we continue to add to it.
