Adult safeguarding decision making guidance
The adult safeguarding decision-making guidance provides guidance to support decision-making in relation to completing adult safeguarding referrals.
The adult safeguarding decision-making guidance is not a substitute for professional judgement, nor does it set rigid guidance for practitioners. It is to be used as a framework to inform decision-making. If there is any doubt, the safeguarding process should be followed.
Both the adult safeguarding decision-making guidance and the safeguarding adults referral form should be used in conjunction with the Derby and Derbyshire SABs Practice Guidance (v4.5 2025 February) document.
