adult social care referrals
Brent councillors are discussing improved data collection for adult social care referrals.
In July 2026, Brent councillors called for significant improvements in how safeguarding data is collected and presented, citing a lack of baseline information that hinders effective measurement of progress and identification of trends. The concerns arose during a review of the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) Annual Report for 2025-2026.
Specifically, the Independent Chair for the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board, Nicola Brownjohn, and Councillor Anger highlighted the absence of data on adult social care referrals, which are requests for support or services made to adult social care departments. They questioned why there was no baseline data and sought more specific details on what these referrals pertain to.
