Key Priorities for HPFT

5
In stage six of SSM, I drew upon the previous
stages in making recommendations for possible
solutions

• Development of specialist SAFA training to meet
  the Learning and Development needs of
  practitioners and managers, to enhance
  investigating skills and understanding of key
  responsibilities and legislation
• IT strategy to support integrated SAFA processes
  Increase efficiency, eradicate inconsistencies of
  methods and improve standard of recording by
  providing a uniform process which will improve
  data quality, performance and quality monitoring
  and increase management oversight
• Revision of supervision policy to integrate
  Safeguarding Adults Children. SAFA is placed as
  a high priority for all staff to ensure that
  staff are given support to assist them in using
  information to make evidence-based decisions
• Safeguarding Adults Children statement part of
  new job descriptions and contracts
• Joining Safeguarding Adults Children under one
  management structure to maximise on the synergies
  between Adult and Children's safeguarding
• Building on these synergies to form the
  Safeguarding Adults Children Strategic Group
• An expert by experience and carer are part of the
  Risk Management and Patient Safety Group and the
  Practice Leads group are exploring expert by
  experience membership of the group
