Mark your calendar! National Safeguarding Adults Week 2025 takes place from November 17th to 21st. This year, the focus is all on “Prevention”.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for organisations across Essex to come together and shine a light on crucial safeguarding issues. The week will be packed with resources, events, and webinars, all designed to help us be more proactive in protecting vulnerable adults.
Daily Themes to Inspire Action
This year’s theme of “Prevention” is broken down into five key areas, with a different focus for each day of the week:
- Monday – Change the Conversation: Let’s talk about proactive interventions and how we can amplify individual voices to prevent harm before it happens.
- Tuesday – Prevention in Practice: We’ll be exploring the vital role that strong leadership and good governance play in creating safer environments for everyone.
- Wednesday – Creating Empowering Environments: It’s all about empathy and understanding. We’ll be discussing how to create trauma-informed approaches that truly empower individuals.
- Thursday – Trust Your Instincts: This day is dedicated to building the courage and resilience for both individuals and professionals to speak out when something doesn’t feel right.
- Friday – Celebrate the Safer Cultures: Let’s end the week on a high note by celebrating the positive outcomes and sharing good practices in safeguarding.
Keep an eye on the Essex Safeguarding Adults Board website and e-portal for more resources & updates as we get closer to the date.
Let’s make this year’s National Safeguarding Adults Week the most impactful one yet!
