7 Minute Briefings
Kingston’s Safeguarding Adults Board’s Seven Minute Briefings (7MB) allow managers to deliver short, memorable briefings to staff on key topics. They can also be used for reflective discussion with practitioners.
Our briefings will be a mixture of new information or a reminder of basic information with a challenge for teams to think about the application to practice within their teams. Team leaders are expected to present briefings regularly to their staff. Partners and subgroups are encouraged to draft a briefing and submit it for publication.
We encourage all agencies to record or evidence how they have used them on the 7MB action plan.
