South Tyneside Safeguarding Adults Board
Who we are
The SAB is a statutory body which Local Authorities are responsible for establishing.
The Care Act 2014 specifies that there must be three core statutory members:
- the Local Authority
- NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB)
- Northumbria Police
The Care Act allows for further members to be specified in future.
For the SAB to fulfil its responsibilities and duties effectively, additional partners are included. These are:
Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Trust
South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust
South Tyneside Community Safety Partnership
South Tyneside Council, Public Health
South Tyneside Council Housing Services
