The Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) brings together all the main organisations who work to safeguard ‘adults at risk’.
An ‘adult at risk’ is someone who has care and support needs, and as a result of those needs may be unable to protect themselves from abuse or neglect.
The SAB is a partnership that works together to ensure that there are effective arrangements to keep adults at risk safe from abuse or neglect.
