The London Multi-Agency Safeguarding Policy and Procedures set out specifically how the Local Authority works with other organisations in the area, such as the police and the ICB to fulfil the requirements of the Care Act, including how they:

1. Prevent and protect adults at risk from abuse;
2. Empower and support adults to make their own choices;
3. Investigate actual (or suspected) abuse or neglect; and
4. Support adults who are at risk of, or experiencing abuse or neglect.

These can be found in the Local Resources area.

A range of other safeguarding information and guidance is available on Mylife Enfield.
