Our Safeguarding Adults Board / Partnership, Policy, Procedure and Practice portal has been created specifically for multi-agency staff working with safeguarding adults.

Have a look around some of our different SAB customer sites:

We have different models available for Safeguarding Adult Boards. Each model is hosted within our specific APPP sites, all of which have a full range of hyperlinked resources. All websites will be branded with the Board / Partnership logo and colours whichever model is chosen. Below is a summary of the different models.

Customised Portal

The portal is supplied with our full suite of template chapters, based on the Care and Support Statutory Guidance and other key national guidance and legislation. We add local links throughout the site to help ensure all relevant information is in one place. The customer is supplied with all the chapters in Word to review in order to reflect local services and ways of working. These amendments are then formatted into the site. The draft portal and Word chapters are available for the customer to review within two weeks of contract agreement. Customised portals offer many opportunities to localise content, including:

  • choice of tiles and colours on the home page;
  • some tiles can be managed by staff locally using CMS function which gives maximum flexibility;
  • contents layout can be amended as required;
  • chapters can be removed, reordered or replaced with local versions as required;
  • extra tab on the procedures contents page for a subject of your choice;
  • chapters in the main contents can have local information included, including links to other local information and resources;
  • local information can be sent for upload and integrated into the site at any time.

Format and Review Portal

Where the Board / Partnership has their own policies and procedures, we format these into a branded website. As part of this process, we will conduct a review of the information sent to us and provide feedback if there is any missing or out of date information. Our template chapters can be added separately to plug any gaps, if required. Sites can be available within one month of receiving the customer’s documentation.

As well as having the customer’s own policies and procedures, Format and Review portals offer other opportunities to localise sites, including:

  • choice of tiles and colours on the home page;
  • some tiles can be managed by staff locally using CMS function which gives maximum flexibility;
  • extra tab on the procedures contents page for a subject of your choice;
  • local information can be sent for upload and integrated into the site at any time.

Consortium Portals

These have been created specifically for multi-agency Safeguarding Adult Boards / Partnerships who will share content between consortium members. They can use PPP content as the starting point (see Customised Portal ) or start with existing local policies and procedures (see Format and Review Portal).

Please note: For all our models, PPP will send out suggested amendments every six months for local review and sign off. Urgent amendments, such as needed as a result of changes to legislation or statutory guidance, will be carried out as required. Customers can also send their information for upload at any time.
