Description
This project will develop evidence-based insights to inform future sector-led improvement and so to strengthen adult safeguarding practice. Through a review of academic research, CQC reports, peer reviews and safeguarding improvement activity, it will identify the organisational structures, processes and leadership approaches associated with effective safeguarding services. Engagement with safeguarding leaders, practitioners and experts in the field will help to explore common challenges, barriers and successful improvement strategies, including lessons from post-CQC support programmes. The findings will inform practical recommendations for local authorities and support Partners in Care and Health (PCH) to enhance its safeguarding improvement offer, ensuring it meets emerging sector needs and national priorities. PCH are looking for experienced consultancy to undertake a multi-faceted piece of work around safeguarding insight. • Research and insight into what processes and pathways, ways of organising safeguarding in adult social care services, support and improve positive safeguarding practice. • Refer to existing analyses of recurring themes in authorities demonstrating strong safeguarding performance and those requiring improvement (including CQC reports). • Develop practical recommendations for local authorities seeking to strengthen safeguarding arrangements. • Gain input from consultants and local authorities who have experienced PCH bespoke project support and peer reviews, gain insight from regional and national networks with an interest in improvement of adult safeguarding services. This may include convening focus groups and undertaking interviews • Reviewing academic and ‘grey’ literature, e.g. CQC inspection reports and post-CQC interventions to support improvement in safeguarding services; considering what has helped improvement from the post-CQC bespoke safeguarding projects and from peer reviews. • Recommendations on how PCH can upscale its current improvement work for 2027-9.
