SG5: Safeguarding Adult Reviews

These tables collect the age bands of the adults at risk, counts of Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) and counts of individuals involved in SARs.

The information in these tables relates to SARs which concluded during the reporting year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Multiple counts are not permitted in these tables.

The term 'Individuals involved' relates only to adults at risk.

All cells in this section are mandatory to complete. 

SARs

When an adult at risk dies from or suffers from serious harm, a SAR is conducted to identify how local professionals and organisations can improve the way they work together. A Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) would usually make the decision to instigate a SAR and a report will be produced to document the findings and recommendations.

Where an individual died

This category refers to the individual at risk and whether they died as a result of the abuse they suffered.

Age definition

Please record the age of the individual on the last day of the reporting period or age at the time of death if an individual has died. Where the age of an individual has not been recorded, please record them in the Not Known column. We only expect this category to be used in a minority of cases.
