Healthwatch Together delivered a robust engagement project to independently review the effectiveness of the section 42 Safeguarding case management for Blackburn with Darwen, Blackpool and Lancashire Safeguarding Adults Boards. A section 42 Safeguarding enquiry is part of the Care Act which gives Local Authorities the primary duty to respond to a concern of abuse or neglect of an individual.
The involvement of people within the safeguarding process was investigated, looking at whether people felt involved, supported and valued.
