Enhanced safeguarding threshold document training – Book your FREE space now!
North Lincolnshire Safeguarding Adults Board are offering further sessions to raise awareness about the enhanced safeguarding threshold document. The training will take place via MS Teams and will last around 30 minutes.

At the end of the training participants will have an increased understanding of what is reportable and what is not reportable to the Safeguarding Adults Team. This will ensure a consistent approach across our partnerships and local organisations.
