Many thanks for taking the time to respond to the Newcastle Safeguarding Adults Board (NSAB) consultation. Your views have helped us to produce our Strategic Annual Plan for 2020-21. We considered views provided via the Let’s Talk survey and from other consultation activities. As a result of Covid-19, the plan had to be updated to ensure the NSAB was responding to some of the issues affecting the abuse and neglect of adults with care and support needs caused by the pandemic. If you have questions about this, please contact Claire Nixon at: claire.nixon@newcastle.gov.uk  

If you have a concern about the abuse or neglect of an adult with care and support needs, please report it. You can do this by contacting Community Health and Social Care Direct (0191 278 8377) or reporting via our online referral form.
