Available SAR reports:
Kingston Safeguarding Adults Board publishes agreed SARs for a minimum of 12 months. After this period, reports may be removed from the website.
To request a copy of an older SAR that has been removed from the website, email ksab@kingston.gov.uk.
SARs that were not agreed for publication are not available.
KSAB's 7 Minute Briefings (7MB) allow managers to deliver short briefings to staff on key topics. They are based on research that suggests 7 minutes is an ideal time span for concentration.
Briefings are issued regularly, including after each SAR.
