A new OSAB briefing has been written to support practitioners to provide assistance when there is concern about pressure ulceration and when this becomes a safeguarding matter. It should be read in conjunction with the national guidance - Safeguarding Adults Protocol: Pressure Ulcers And Raising A Safeguarding Concern.

This briefing is designed to standardise safeguarding responses in individuals where there is pressure ulceration and supports a consistent approach to the evaluation of incidents involving pressure ulceration. It also supports practitioners in decision making.
