Independent Chair for the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board
Brent councillors are currently discussing improvements to safeguarding data collection and analysis for the Safeguarding Adults Board.
In July 2026, Brent councillors called for significant improvements in how safeguarding data is collected and presented, citing a lack of baseline information. This demand arose during a review of the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) Annual Report for 2025-2026, which is overseen by the Independent Chair. Councillors questioned the absence of data on adult social care referrals.
The Independent Chair for the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board, Nicola Brownjohn, is responsible for the board's oversight and strategic direction. The board's work, including its annual reports, is subject to scrutiny by councillors who seek to ensure effective measurement of progress and identification of trends in adult safeguarding.
