Learning Briefs

When a Safeguarding Adult Review is completed, the full report is published on our website, unless there is reason not to do so. It is published alongside a one page learning brief, to aid the dissemination of learning.

Additionally, quarterly, SASP and DACT (Domestic Abuse Coordination Team) produce a SAR-DHR Newsletter, looking at themes and learning coming from reviews in the city, such a Safeguarding Adult Reviews and Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs). We often see cross-cutting themes across these reviews and each quarter focuses on a different theme and the relevent learning locally.

Learning Briefs and Reports

Learning briefs are short summary documents intended to share key learning from the various case reviews carried out by SASP, including Safeguarding Adult Reviews, learning lessons reviews and other themed audits.
