Below is a list of tools, including a brief description, which may be downloaded for use when undertaking a SAR in Rapid Time.
These tools have been designed to support Safeguarding Adult Boards and case reviewers who are using the SAR in Rapid Time methodology to undertake a SAR.
The methodology enables a shorter, more proportionate review process, to deliver systems findings in addition to an analysis of the case under review. A review using this process can potentially be completed within about six weeks, although feedback from boards that have used the model suggests that often several more weeks were needed to complete the process.
