Course Outline:
The Care Act 2014 introduced a duty for the local authority to set up a Safeguarding Adult Board (SAB) under section 43 and places SABs on a statutory footing for the first time.
One of the functions of the SAB is to arrange for a Safeguarding Adult Review (SAR) to be held in circumstances identified in section 44.
The Domestic Crime and Victims Act 2004 introduced a duty for a specified person or body to establish or participate in a Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) to be held in circumstances identified in section 9.
