The Board received the Halton Safeguarding Adults Board’s (HSAB) Annual Report for 2024-25.

Under the Care Act 2014, Safeguarding Adults Boards (SAB) were responsible for producing an annual report setting out their achievements and highlighting priorities for the following year. 

The report had been developed in conjunction with HSAB partners to ensure the report encompassed a multi-agency approach.  Members were advised of the four strategic priorities for 2024-25: communication and involvement; strategic intervention and early intervention; making safeguarding personal; and learning development and assurance.  The report also included performance data and comparisons between years, achievements in the year updates on partner agencies and sub-groups of the HSAB and highlighted areas of good practice regarding safeguarding in the Borough. 

          The Board thanked the HSAB for the report and were pleased to note its achievements.  They were also complimentary of the referral service and officers agreed to feed this back.   

The Annual Report was approved by the Board, this would now be published and shared with HSAB member organisations.

RESOLVED:  That the Board:

1)    notes the report; and

2)    approves the Annual Report for publication.
