The Birmingham Safeguarding Adults Board are holding a face to face Conference on the subject of Strengthening - Responding to & Reporting a Concern Across the Partnership. This event will help partner agencies, communicate the revised ‘Responding to and Reporting a Concern’ process; identify misdirected safeguarding concerns and how to reroute them effectively; encourage partnership collaboration and understanding and practice applying the new ‘Responding to and Reporting a Concern’ pathway through interactive workshop

Attendance to the conference is on an invite only basis.

The conference is aimed at Senior leaders and Organisational Safeguarding Leads who can take back the shared learning from the event and implement change within their organisations.

We expect that those attending will attend for the full day.

The Conference will include:

An introduction to the current challenges and the purpose of the new process and operating model
Give a presentation on The New ‘Responding to and Reporting a Concern’ Process and a demonstration of the New Reporting a Concern Tool
An interactive Workshop: Case Scenario Session
Look at decision making – Responding to a concern

Mapping exercise – Reporting a concern versus alternative responses

There will be a discussion on "What are the obstacles to responding to a concern? What are the barriers to reporting a concern? How can agencies better communicate?"
Action Planning - Discuss insights from interactive workshop and agree on next steps
Look at Alternative Responses: Carers; Domestic Abuse and Quality of Care

If for any reason you are unable to attend please ensure that someone else from your organisation attends to ensure that the conference resource is fully utilised.
