Number of concluded section 42 safeguarding enquiries where a risk was identified and action was taken to mitigate that risk. The Safeguarding Adults Collection (SAC) records safeguarding activity relating to adults aged 18 and over with care and support needs in England. Data are recorded by safeguarding teams based in local authorities and submitted to NHS Digital through a secure data collection system. This annex relates to tables SG3A and SG4A of the return which concern Mental Capacity and Making Safeguarding Personal for concluded Section 42 enquiries.

Making Safeguarding Personal - This is about having conversations with people about how to respond in safeguarding situations in a way that enhances involvement, choice and control as well as improving quality of life, wellbeing and safety. As this is a voluntary data item and was completed by 93 of the 152 local authorities, the data should be treated with caution.

Concluded Section 42 safeguarding enquiries - When the safeguarding investigation is complete and the conclusions and actions have been decided. Only enquiries that concluded within this reporting year should be recorded. This can include cases that began in a previous reporting period.
