Wolverhampton's Safeguarding Adult Board has adopted the "Multi-agency Policy and Procedures for the Protection of adults with care and support needs in the West Midlands".
The Policy and Procedures were implemented in April 2015 and reflect the changes in the Care Act 2014. The Policy and Procedures operate on a multi-agency basis across the West Midlands area, thereby ensuring consistency of responses and a common approach to safeguarding. The West Midlands Policy and Procedures have been produced in consultation with health and social care representatives as well as representatives from partner agencies.
