Practice guidance
NSAB has created a range of guidance documents to support increased awareness and understanding of safeguarding issues and best practice when working with adults at risk across our multi-agency partnership in Norfolk. We have also included some guidance from other sources.
The documents are set out alphabetically in the links below.
We also have some '7 minute' briefings (transitional safeguarding, managing racist abuse to staff from those who lack mental capacity, domestic abuse, financial safeguarding and more).
On some of our other pages, there is guidance about self-neglect and hoarding in the 'Types of abuse' section, and also guidance about raising a concern, including a checklist of the information that will be helpful to know when you make contact.
We also have some more focused guidance which comes out of Safeguarding Adult Reviews or referrals to the Safeguarding Adult Review Group - for example, we published a protocol on one to one care (August 2022):
Types of enquiry
There are various different types of enquiry or investigation that you might come across, including safeguarding adults / section 42 enquiry - here's a handy guide to our Top Twelve of them....
Norfolk Graded Care Profile
The Norfolk Graded Care Profile (NGCP) is an evidence-based tool used by practitioners across Norfolk to evaluate the quality of care provided to children and young people. It supports early identification of neglect, promotes consistent multi-agency working, and helps guide informed safeguarding decisions. It is also important for practitioners working with adults, helping them to recognise potential concerns and contribute to a whole-family approach to safeguarding.
Follow the link below to find out more about how the NGCP works, what it assesses, and why it is an important part of supporting children and families.
