Nicola’s Blog – A New National Adult Safeguarding Board and what this means for Adult Social Care providers in Surrey
The adult safeguarding system is about to undergo its biggest transformation since the Care Act 2014. Following recommendations from Baroness Louise Casey back in March, the Government has committed to establishing a National Adult Safeguarding Board, a move that promises greater national oversight, stronger accountability and more consistent understanding of what safeguarding is across the country.

What is adult social care?
Social Care is the support given to people who require assistance with daily tasks or to live independently. It can range from personal care such as washing and dressing to support with managing household tasks. Social care can be delivered in a person’s own home, at a central setting such as a day service or in a residential based service such as a care home. Everyone is entitled to a social care assessment through their local council, but only some people will be eligible for their support to be funded by the council or by the NHS.
