I maintain close liaison and communication with other key partner services/agencies in the adult safeguarding process (e.g. Service Providers, Commissioning, CQC, Police, Health). In addition I work alongside the Operations Manager and other Lead Practitioners for Safeguarding Adults, and hold delegated responsibility for elements of the Safeguarding Adults strategy which involves development work, working across agencies, and contributing to projects.I promote constructive multi-agency working on a local level with partner agencies to raise awareness of Adult Safeguarding issues, and to promote effective multi-agency liaison and communication in the adult safeguarding process.
