Subgroups

HSAB is supported in its work by a number of subgroups with each operating to terms of reference and an agreed work plan which focuses on the delivery of HSAB strategic objectives and priorities. Short term task and finish groups may also be set up to focus on the implementation of specific objectives or projects.

We run some of our subgroups jointly with the other neighbouring local Safeguarding Adults Boards where we share common priorities and objectives.
