Who are we?
The Safeguarding Adults Customer Forum was set up in 2013. Members of the Forum share an interest in Safeguarding Adults – they are able to ask questions and bring information to share. Our aim is to listen to people’s views and take into consideration their experiences so that we can improve our services. We are here to ensure that people have a voice and take on board their feedback and opinions on Safeguarding.
As members of the Customer Forum we all live in and around Sheffield. We all share an interest in Safeguarding Adults, to get good results for people who need our help and to set good standards for Safeguarding.
We also work with other groups to make sure everyone knows what they should be doing and they are doing it well. We act as champions for safeguarding and are very proud to represent our local communities. We ask people of Sheffield what they think about the safeguarding Process and feedback to different organisations in Sheffield that we work with.
We also:
-
- Tell everyone about local and national issues.
- Think about what training people need.
- Work with other agencies to find out what is needed
- Keep people safe.
- Have representation at Sheffield Adults Safeguarding Partnership Board and the Citywide Best Practice Group meetings.
- Champion the importance of co-production.
The forum is, currently, a small team of individuals who work well together and wish for safeguarding to be achieved for everyone, however, greater diversity is one of our priorities to provide greater depth and more insight to how safeguarding is in Sheffield, so new individuals will be very welcomed.
