multi-agency working
Brent councillors are scrutinising safeguarding data and strategic plans for multi-agency working to protect vulnerable adults.
Brent councillors called for improved data collection and trend analysis in safeguarding adults reports in July 2026, citing a lack of baseline information. This followed a review of the Brent Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) Annual Report for 2025-2026 by the Community and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee in June 2026. The SAB's strategic plans for the next two years, approved in March 2026, aim to protect adults with complex needs and intervene earlier, focusing on mental health, suicide prevention, and homelessness.
The Children, Education and Families Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee in Bromley is scheduled to discuss topics concerning children and young people in September 2026, where multi-agency collaboration is often key. Multi-agency working involves different organisations and professionals coordinating to provide services and achieve common goals, particularly in areas like safeguarding.
