Self-Neglect Toolkit
Brent Council's Safeguarding Adults Board has developed a Self-Neglect Toolkit as part of its 2024-2026 strategic plan.
Brent Council's Community and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee reviewed the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board's (SAB) strategic plan for 2024-2026 in July 2026. The plan, which focuses on self-neglect, housing need, and substance misuse, included the development of a Self-Neglect Toolkit as a key achievement. The SAB's new priorities, aiming to protect adults with complex needs, were approved in March 2026.
The Self-Neglect Toolkit was developed by the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board to address issues of self-neglect. The board has also improved governance through its Performance & Audit subgroup, which examines performance and undertakes multi-agency audits to identify data gaps.
