Independent Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs)
At KA Safeguarding Solutions, we provide expert, independent Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) to help organisations learn from serious incidents involving adults at risk.
Our approach is comprehensive, objective, and conducted with the utmost professionalism, ensuring that each review delivers meaningful insights.
What we Offer
A Safeguarding Adult Review (SAR) is undertaken when an adult at risk has experienced harm, abuse, or neglect, and there has been a failure in safeguarding processes. Our goal is to identify lessons to be learned and to drive improvements in the practice of all partner agencies involved in safeguarding vulnerable adults.
Independent SAR Leadership
We lead independent Safeguarding Adult Reviews, ensuring an impartial investigation into all events. Our approach is evidence-based, objective, and thorough, providing unbiased findings.
Systematic Review & Analysis
We evaluate the actions and decisions of agencies involved in safeguarding, identifying any gaps or failings in safeguarding practices. This detailed analysis helps highlight systemic issues and areas for improvement.
Multi-Agency Collaboration
Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) require effective collaboration across multiple agencies. We facilitate this process, ensuring that all relevant partners including health services, social care, law enforcement, and the Voluntary, Community, and Faith Sectors are actively engaged.
Our approach fosters a no blame ethos, creating a safe space for open dialogue and reflection. By removing the fear of blame, we encourage agencies to share experiences, insights, and challenges. This collaborative environment allows us to identify shared learning, develop actionable solutions, and create cross-sector action plans aimed at preventing future harm and improving safeguarding outcomes
Recommendations for Improvement
After completing the review, we provide clear, actionable recommendations aimed at improving safeguarding practices. These recommendations are tailored to the needs of all partner agencies and focus on strengthening systems, policies, and practices to reduce the risk of future incidents.
Report Writing & Final Findings
We prepare comprehensive, clear, and transparent SAR reports that outline key findings, lessons learned, and recommendations for improvement. These reports are designed to be shared with all relevant stakeholders and serve as a tool for enhancing safeguarding practices.
Training & Development
Following the review, we offer tailored follow-up training to ensure that the lessons learned are integrated into your organisation’s safeguarding culture. This helps improve staff awareness, knowledge, and practices, fostering a culture of safeguarding excellence.
