From a sequence of workshops a briefing was published that identified the hallmarks of best practice for commissioners and providers of health and social care committed to making safeguarding personal. The briefing also provided suggestions on what needs to happen to embed making safeguarding personal in this field of practice.

A follow-up workshop, attended by commissioners and providers of health and social care, and independent chairs and business managers of Safeguarding Adults Boards, was convened to share practical examples that were turning “fine words” into positive practice. Short presentations: Developing steps for coordinated action workshop offered such examples to which were added contributions from workshop participants. This briefing alongside those presentations draws together and shares this learning as a contribution to sector-led improvement.
