Adults
The organisational safeguarding team in Essex plays a crucial role in protecting adults at risk from harm or abuse through social care provision. Responsibilities are guided by the SET (Southend, Essex, and Thurrock) Safeguarding Adults Guidelines and the Care Act 2014.
This team of social workers and occupational therapists lead all organisational safeguarding concerns about neglect or poor care practices within social care provision.
They engage with care providers to improve standards and work in collaboration with other agencies including the Care Quality Commission (CQC), NHS and police to ensure coordinated responses.
