Annual London Safeguarding Adults Board Conference: 20 -24 November

We would like to invite you to the London Safeguarding Adults Board (LSAB) Conference organised by the London Safeguarding Adults Board, which will take place during the National Adult Safeguarding Awareness Week, which this year focuses on how you can prioritise the welfare and wellbeing of yourself and others.  

There’s a strong link between safeguarding and mental and physical wellbeing. If someone’s wellbeing is suffering, they may consider certain actions that put them at risk. The concept of ‘wellbeing’ is threaded throughout UK legislation and is part of the Law about how health and social care is provided.  Our wellbeing includes our mental and physical health, our relationships, our connection with our communities and our contribution to society. Being able to live free from abuse and neglect is a key element of wellbeing.

Any actions taken to safeguard an adult must take their whole wellbeing into account and be proportionate to the risk of harm. We should work with people to understand what matters to them and consider their beliefs, views and feelings when offering support.

We would like to encourage you to think about what wellbeing means to you and what this means for the people you support during Safeguarding Adults Week 2023. We have selected themes for each day of the week and hope these themes will guide you to enhance your knowledge and understanding of safeguarding adults within your organisation and communities.

It’s important we look out for yourself and others. During the week, we will be exploring effective strategies for how individuals and organisations can promote the wellbeing of staff, volunteers, residents  and the people they support. The series of events organised this year is an excellent opportunity for learning and professional development in the field of adult safeguarding.

Everyone is welcome to join each session and they are all virtual events, via Microsoft Teams. To join a session, please register beforehand using the individual registration links below.
