About this Event
During Safeguarding Adults Week 2025, we are focusing on prevention, and how we can effectively work together to create safer communities and stop the harm and abuse of adults. Our conference features a selection of informative keynotes and workshops exploring effective techniques for preventing abuse.
The conference will contribute to continued professional development for professionals and volunteers working with adults across a range of sectors.
