Wigan Safeguarding Adults Board recognise that working together with our communities and helping people live safer and happier lives is key to improving outcomes. As a board in line with Progress with Unity we have a unique and genuine commitment to work together as a collective for the good of the borough. 

In line with Progress with Unity we have created an awards process that creates a new multi-agency award for practice, initiatives and community involvement that recognises excellent work that demonstrate tangible outcomes.

There will be six annual awards in line with the six key principles that underpin all adult safeguarding work. In addition, we are pleased to also recognise work undertaken on a more regular basis with a special recognition award. You will be asked to confirm which awards you are submitting your nomination for within the nomination process.
