Provider Conference 2019

In November the Safeguarding Adults Board delivered their annual Provider Conference "Sharing Good Practice in Safeguarding Adults".   This was well attended by representatives from across health, social care, housing and voluntary sector services.  Key speakers were: 

Amanda Stride, Head of Adult Social Care Inspection for the South West, Care Quality Commission (CQC)
Kate Spreadbury, Independent Reviewer and author of Nightingale Homes Safeguarding Adult Review
Dameon Caddy, Mental Capacity Act and DoLS Manager for North Somerset Council and BNSSG CCG

A range of workshops were delivered by partner agencies sharing good practice and learning.  The day was closed with an enlightening set of sketches from Misfits Theatre which drove home many of the messages from throughout the day.
