As part of developing a positive culture of learning and development, a Safeguarding Board should ensure that information is widely disseminated within the workforce to inform them about best practice and learning arising, reviews, audits and other Board activities. It should also ensure that practitioners are receiving or have access to the training they need in adult protection and the prevention of abuse, neglect or other forms of harm. Understanding the nature and extent of abuse, neglect and other forms of harm and the effectiveness of services to prevent and protect adults at risk from harm are fundamental to improving the knowledge base of a Safeguarding Board and ensuring informed decision making. A Safeguarding Board should therefore provide for research and evaluation studies, either by undertaking or commissioning small scale studies or by co-operating with and encouraging agencies to co-operate with studies being undertaken locally or nationally.
