Safeguarding Adults Week 2024
Safeguarding Adults Week 2024 takes place 18 – 22 November.
The Safeguarding Adults Boards in Portsmouth, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Southampton are proud to support National Safeguarding Adults Week 2024. It’s an opportunity for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. The aim is to highlight key safeguarding issues, start conversations and raise awareness of safeguarding best practice. Each day, we’ll be focusing on a different safeguarding theme which relates to how individuals and organisations can safeguard themselves and others.
