Housing and safeguarding adults conference - Welwyn Garden City (supported by the Housing LIN)
Event date
Presentation notes and slides
Description
On Thursday the 18th September from 9.30am to 4.45pm
The aim of this free conference is to increase the engagement in adult safeguarding by all housing providers including non specialist providers of general needs housing. The event is targeted at front-line housing staff, their managers and designated safeguarding leads in housing organisations. The conference is intended both for those who have had training in adult safeguarding and for those who have not. We will take bookings from across the East of England but priority will be given to staff working within Hertfordshire.
The event is particularly timely in the light of the new Care Act 2014 (which comes into force in April 2015) and related statutory guidance which makes adult safeguarding statutory for the first time and requires all housing providers to implement adult safeguarding policies, procedures and training for all staff.
