Safeguarding Adults Week 2025 – Links, Resources, and More

It is a time for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues.

Safeguarding Adults Week 2025 is all about prevention.

It’s important to learn the right lessons when things go wrong. But it is much better to prevent abuse from occurring in the first place than it is to respond to instances of harm, neglect, and isolation.

Throughout the week, we’re encouraging people to take a closer look at their approach to prevention. We want individuals and organisations to ensure that prevention is embedded in their policies and procedures.

You can learn more about the key themes of the week here.

Below, find some free resources to help you start some vital conversations online. We’ll update this page in the months leading up to the week. So bookmark this page to stay informed! You can also sign up to receive email updates.
