About Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Team
The Buckinghamshire’s Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB) has a responsibility for safeguarding adults, in order to protect adults at risk of harm or abuse and to enhance their well-being and daily experience.
In 2019 a change was made to the Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB) which in turn provided an opportunity to review the chairmanship of the two boards and their respective business units. As a result, a decision was made to appoint a single Independent Chairperson for the BSAB and the BSCP, and to merge the business units together.
The joint business unit is managed by a Safeguarding Partnership Manager, and supported by five further staff covering varied roles to support the work of the multi agencies and ensure that the lived lives of adults is supported in the best way possible.
