JB suggested that the Board could link with Environmental Health as public
concerns relating to hoarding issues would fall under their remit. SBC have
recorded some positive outcomes when social workers have contacted
Environmental Health to assist with issues, but members were not confident that
this approach is fully embedded. It was suggested that representatives from
Environmental Health should be invited to attend the Board to discuss this issue.

Housing providers were recognised as an important agency involved in hoarding
cases. Links have been strengthened with providers such as Thirteen who now
take an active role, however, it is more challenging to develop similar arrangements
with private landlords.

AB commented that Liverpool Safeguarding Adults Board have a joint arrangement
similar to TSAB. AB has been approached to discuss the possibility of a joint peer
review. The practicalities of this are being explored. JB advised that he would be
happy to contribute to a peer review as a member of the Health & Wellbeing Board.
