It is a requirement of the Care Act 2014 that all Safeguarding Adults Boards publish an Annual Report.
The Oldham Safeguarding Adults Board Annual Report 2022-23 outlines the work of the Board over the last twelve months and how partner agencies have worked together to improve the safety of adults at risk of abuse and neglect. The Annual Report also outlines the key activities and achievements of the Board and its partners over the last year and includes a look ahead to the plans for 2023-24.
The Oldham Safeguarding Adults Board Single-Agency Statements provide additional insight into the safeguarding activity and successes of each OSAB partner agency and their safeguarding priorities and anticipated challenges for the year ahead.
OSAB Workforce Development and Training Strategy 2023-24
OSAB has a duty to ensure that partners provide training for staff and volunteers on legislation, policies, procedures and professional practices that reflect the local safeguarding adult arrangements. It must also ensure that safeguarding training is consistently and effectively applied by practitioners within their day to day practice.
The purpose of the 2023-24 Workforce Development and Training Strategy is to set out the Board's vision and framework for adult safeguarding training. It sets out priorities for staff development based on OSAB’s Three-Year Strategy, Care Act responsibilities, competency requirements and learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews. All partner agencies of the Board have agreed to adopt the strategy.
