Agenda Item 8 Safeguarding Children, Young People and Presenter: Jean Golightly
Adults at Risk in the NHS – Safeguarding
Accountability and Assurance Framework
(c/f)
JG provided a summary of the 2019 Safeguarding Children, Young People and Adults at Risk in the NHS:
Safeguarding Accountability and Assurance Framework (SAAF). The key highlights are as follows:
 The SAAF identifies that NHS England and NHS Improvement are transitioning into a single
organisation.
 The SAAF also acknowledges the changing landscape of NHS systems with the introduction of
Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and Primary Care Networks (PCNs).
 Adult Safeguarding: roles and competencies for healthcare staff (2018) – new last year and has
introduced additional levels to demonstrate skills and competencies of staff in relation to
safeguarding adults.
 The SAAF details a named GP for adult safeguarding – brings this in line with children’s
safeguarding roles.
 Safeguarding forms part of the NHS Standard Contract (Service Condition 32) and the SAAF
describes how commissioners will need to agree with providers, through local negotiation, what
contract monitoring processes are used to demonstrate compliance with safeguarding duties (this
bit isn’t new). These will be measured using the Safeguarding Commissioning Assurance Toolkit
(Safeguarding CAT) which is due to be prototyped in specific regions by August 2019 (this bit is
new).
