About the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults Board

The North Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults Board (NYSAB) is a statutory partnership established under the Care Act 2014.

Its role is to provide strategic leadership, oversight and assurance for safeguarding adults across North Yorkshire.

The Board works with organisations responsible for safeguarding adults to understand how well local arrangements are working and where improvements may be needed.

Under the Care Act 2014, the Board must:

• publish a Strategic Plan
• publish an Annual Report
• commission Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) when required
