Safeguarding Adults Week 2024 takes place from Monday 18 to Friday 22 November.
It is a time for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues.
The core theme for the 2024 week is Working in Partnership. We believe that working in partnerships allows us to share our knowledge of safeguarding, learn from others and ultimately create safer cultures.
During Safeguarding Adults Week 2024, we’ll be collaborating with our partners to explore a different safeguarding theme each day. The themes will encourage us to consider how we can work together to establish safer cultures within our workplaces and communities.
You can learn more about the key themes for the week.
Below, find some free resources to help you start some vital conversations online. We’ll update this page in the months leading up to the week. So bookmark this page to stay informed! You can also sign up to receive email updates.
