NSAB members' prevention top tips

Prevention is key to protecting adults from harm. 

A proactive and preventative approach recognises that safeguarding isn't just about responding to incidents, but about creating the conditions that minimise risk and promote wellbeing. 

This includes spotting risks early, raising awareness, building resilience and ensuring staff and communities know how to act quickly if they spot concerns.  Preventing harm improves lives and reduces pressure on services.

NSAB members have shared practical tips to help protect adults with care and support needs. 

Try them in your place of work and share with colleagues.  If you have a prevention tip for safeguarding adults, please share it with us at nsab@norfolk.gov.uk
