| Annotation | This report summarises the main conclusions from the pilot reviews and key learning points to assist the improvement of safeguarding policy and practice. Local Government Improvement and Development carried out a pilot programme of peer reviews of adult safeguarding arrangements in four English local authorities in 2009-2010. The pilot programme sought to customise, test and adapt this established peer review methodology to adult safeguarding. Key messages from these peer reviews include: outcomes and experience of people who use services; leadership, strategy and commissioning; service delivery, effective practice and performance and resource management; and working together. Councils may need to revisit how they develop their safeguarding arrangements in the light of major policy, financial and demographic shifts over the next few years. (RH). |
