8. When talking to a victim
SafeguardingAdultsBoard@havering.gov.uk
Never promise confidentiality
Never ask leading questions
Clarify the concerns, but DO NOT attempt to interview the
person alleged to have caused harm
Tell them that you are taking what they are saying or
expressing seriously
Preserve any evidence
Tell the them you will tell someone who can help them
Record what is said and done, including your responses
Report all information to your Line Manager as soon as
possible

Safeguarding Adults Team
Tel: 01708 433550

Email: Safeguarding_Adults_Team@havering.gov.uk.
If there is an immediate risk of serious harm, then call the Police

10. What happens next?
SafeguardingAdultsBoard@havering.gov.uk
Safeguarding Adults Team will receive the concern
They will see if it meets the 3-stage test for a
‘Safeguarding Adults’ Section 42 enquiry
If it does, they will proceed with an enquiry, if it does
not meet the test we may decide concerns are
serious enough to warrant an enquiry
You may hear nothing further, don’t be alarmed, it
does not mean that nothing is being done
11. The Six Key Principles
SafeguardingAdultsBoard@havering.gov.uk
Empowerment – People being supported and encouraged to
make their own decisions and informed consent.
Prevention – It is better to take action before harm occurs.
Proportionality – The least intrusive response appropriate to
the risk presented.
Protection – Support and representation for those in greatest
need.
Partnership – Local solutions through services working with
their communities. Communities have a part to play in
preventing, detecting and reporting neglect and abuse.
Accountability – Accountability and transparency in delivering
safeguarding.
12. How can the C&VS get involved?
SafeguardingAdultsBoard@havering.gov.uk
The SAB must publish a strategic plan for each financial year
that sets how it will meet its main objective and what the
members will do to achieve this. The plan must be developed
with local community involvement, and the SAB must consult
the local Healthwatch organisation. The plan should be evidence
based and make use of all available evidence and intelligence
from partners to form and develop its plan.
After the end of each financial year, the SAB must publish an
annual report that must clearly state what both the SAB and its
members have done to carry out and deliver the objectives and
other content of its strategic plan.
Both have to be accessible to local people!
13. Discussion
SafeguardingAdultsBoard@havering.gov.uk
How can we find out what about safeguarding adults
matters to local people?
How can we make sure that local people understand
what Safeguarding Adults Board is doing?
How do we work together the raise awareness of
Safeguarding Adults in the community?
