Locality Safeguarding Adult Partnerships (LSAPs)
Norfolk has five Locality Safeguarding Adults Partnerships (LSAPs) across the county, based on western, southern, northern, eastern and central (Norwich) localities.
The purpose of these is to communicate and deliver key safeguarding adults objectives at a local level from the Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board, and to provide a local view back to support effective development of NSAB plans.
The partnerships have representatives from a wide range of organisations in each local area, such as adult social care, community health, local councils, libraries, acute hospital trusts, charitable and voluntary organisations, Trading Standards, police and care providers.
The range of people in the LSAP needs to reflect the variety of agencies and their views, to help us all work together better to tackle safeguarding issues and raise awareness across all of Norfolk.
People who attend then share the information back into their own teams and organisations.
Each LSAP has two co-chairs to lead the group in the work they do, and Norfolk County Council provide administrative support for consistent organisation of the meetings.
They meet every two months, and the agenda is structured to look at particular topics, giving a focus and inspiration for activity and discussion.
If you would like to know more, or come along to the LSAP in your area, just contact us.
