Safeguarding adult concerns will be given a high priority by Community Care and Housing (CC&H).
CC&H has a duty to coordinate the interagency response to safeguarding adult concerns and will consult with Care Quality Commission, the police and other agencies as appropriate. If an investigation is required a strategy meeting or discussion will be convened to decide who does what, by when and who they should report to.
A team or district manager will be responsible for coordinating the investigation.
The coordination of safeguarding adult investigations is the responsibility of the local authority where the abuse is alleged to have taken place.
