About Us
 Sunderland’s
Safeguarding Adults Partnership Board
Sunderland's original procedures was established in 1997, in response to recommendation
by the Association for the Directors of Social Services (ADSS),
for the development of local multi-agency policy and procedures
to protect vulnerable adults from abuse.
In 2007 Sunderland launched their new Safeguarding Adults Procedural Framework since that time much good work has been done to strive to keep
Sunderland at the forefront of good practice in this area, contributing
to the development of national guidance as well the development
of good practice and procedures in other local authorities. The
Procedural Framework as well as other areas of practice such as
training and raising public awareness have been acknowledged as
examples of good practice by the Social Services Inspectorate and
national organisations such as Action on Elder Abuse. Sunderland
was chosen in 2004 as one of the best practice sites, in Safeguarding Adults
in England.
