Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) are a statutory requirement for Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs). Safeguarding adult practice can be improved by identifying what is helping and what is hindering safeguarding work, in order to tackle barriers to good practice and protect adults from harm. SARs need to be of good quality and need to be able to be shared to maximise the value of their learning.
Many Safeguarding Adult Reviews can take several months to complete. SARs in Rapid Time (SARiRT) model speeds up the process. Learn how to use the model in this modular training programme, attend sessions as needed. Seven sessions ran in Autumn 2023 with a further seven sessions to take place in Spring 2024
