Our Priorities for 2025-2027
Foreword from Dr Suzanne Smith, Independent Chair, Wigan Safeguarding Adults Board.
I am pleased to present the Wigan Safeguarding Adults Board (WSAB) 5-year strategic plan. This plan has been developed in collaboration with our board partners, building on previous efforts and steering us towards an exciting future.
The Wigan Safeguarding Adults Board acknowledges the importance of collaboration with our communities to help people live safer and happier lives. Under our renewed focus 'Progress with Unity', we have established a Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) to measure progress and provide regular updates to the board.
Our refreshed mission, values, and behaviours serve as a cornerstone for our partnership, ensuring an outcome-orientated and asset-based approach. Annually, we will report on our key priorities through our annual report, using the methods outlined in out framework to demonstrate progress and adjust efforts as needed.
Our strategy remains adaptable to incorporate new local and national insights, legislations and best practices, ensuring we stay focused on enhancing our coordinated safeguarding efforts. We are confident that this renewed commitment to collective action will lead to lasting positive changes and outcomes. Together, we can overcome barriers that create financial, health, education and environmental inequalities in our borough, providing fair opportunities for all residents.
As the Wigan Safeguarding Adults Board, we will work together to achieve our mission :
Working together with our communities, helping people live safer, happier lives.
