SSASPB Strategic Plan and priorities

An outline of SSASPB’s mission and 2025–2028 strategic priorities, focused on empowering communities, supporting the workforce, and preventing abuse through partnership, awareness, and confident safeguarding practice.

Last updated: 21st January

Mission Statement

Our commitment is to listen to and empower our communities and support the workforce to keep adults who may have care and support needs in our communities, safe from abuse and neglect. We will do this through:

Seeking Assurance                        Being Responsive           Working in Partnership

Prevention of harm                       Engagement                        Being  Inclusive

SSASPB Strategic Plan

Safeguarding Adults Boards have a duty to publish a Strategic Plan which sets out how we will achieve our duties, strategic priorities and functions. It also includes how partner agencies will contribute to this.

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Adult Safeguarding Partnership Board (SSASPB) have agreed 3 year priorities to enable longer term pieces of work. We are currently working to develop the 2025-2028 Strategic Plan  based on the strategic priorities agreed from April 2025.
