The Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) is a group of statutory, private, voluntary, and independent organisations across Oxfordshire who work together to empower and protect some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Our purpose is to raise awareness and promote the welfare of adults at risk by the development of an effective co-operative. The co-operative is committed to ensuring the work done effectively brings about good outcomes for adults so they can live safe and secure lives.
This website is designed for use by anyone who works with adults with care and support needs who are at risk of or experiencing abuse, neglect or self-neglect. The aim being to provide a range of useful information and guidance around adult safeguarding issues, to support your work in promoting the welfare of adults who use your services.
