Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR) Family and Friends Leaflet
Our SAR Family and Friends leaflet provides valuable information on the procedures and expectations when a Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR) is required. It is important that family members and friends feel both well-informed and supported and know what to expect every step of the way.

The BME Safeguarding Network
The BME Safeguarding Network have translated our ‘Say No to Abuse’ booklets into 7 different languages (Kurdish, French, Somali, Tigrigna, Arabic, Bengali, Farsi).
Why Translation Matters to the BME Safeguarding Network
“Making safeguarding information available in multiple languages is essential for the BME Safeguarding Network. When messages are delivered in someone’s preferred language, people better understand their rights, can recognise abuse, and know how to seek help. Translation breaks down barriers and stigma and distributing leaflets in various languages ensures safeguarding messages will reach every part of our diverse communities”, Mercy Ndeti, Co-Chair, The BME Safeguarding Network.

Mental Capacity & Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 is a law designed to protect and empower people who may lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions. It applies to everyone working in health and social care who is involved in the care, treatment, and support of people aged 16 and over. The MCA is based on five key principles that guide all actions and decisions made for those who lack capacity.
This at a glance summary presents an overview of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005, which is important to health and social care practice Mental Capacity Act 2005 at a glance – SCIE
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) provide additional protection for the most vulnerable people living in residential homes, nursing homes, hospitals, and supported housing. These safeguards ensure that any deprivation of liberty is done safely and correctly, and only when all other less restrictive options have been explored.
The SAEB have produced this leaflet below as a guide for people to understand what a Deprivation of Liberty is all about and who can be a Relevant Person’s Representative (RPR).
