Safeguarding Adult Review (SAR)

A Safeguarding Adult Review (SAR) looks at situations where something went very wrong. An example being, if an adult at risk was badly harmed or died. The SAR review learns about what happened, what could be done better, and how to improve. It’s not about blaming anyone. It’s about learning to make care and support safer for everyone.
