The West Midlands region recognises that the main statutory agencies need to work together to promote safer communities and to deal with actual or suspected abuse.

Warwickshire, in collaboration with other local authorities within the region, has adopted the following multi-agency policy and procedures and guidance documents for the Protection of Adults with Care and Support needs in the West Midlands, to help ensure consistency of responses and a common approach to safeguarding.

These documents have been developed in consultation with health and social care representatives as well as representatives from partner agencies.


The West Midlands Adult Safeguarding Policy & Procedures for the protection of adults with care & support needs in the West Midlands document is a living document which will be updated regularly as both practice and policies develop, or to reflect any major changes introduced through legislation.

The following document details how the local authority and partner agencies will work together to fulfil the duties of the Care Act 2014; and set out how adult Safeguard concerns will be responded to when it appears to the local authority that an adult with care and support needs is experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, abuse or neglect.
