Safeguarding in a changing sector
The Social Care Institute for Excellence will encourage care providers to reassess safeguarding at Care Show Birmingham, held at NEC Birmingham on 7 and 8 October 2026. SCIE says complex sector changes make safeguarding essential to protecting dignity, choice and control for people receiving care and support.
Rights, scrutiny and practical support
SCIE links renewed attention to safeguarding with the Supreme Court’s deprivation of liberty judgment, the Government’s response and the creation of the National Adult Safeguarding Board. It says providers face heightened scrutiny and need clearer practical guidance. Its previous work has included projects on transitions, self-neglect and organisational audits.
Keynote on adult social care’s future
On 8 October at 13:30, SCIE Board Chair Baroness Glenys Thornton and Head of Social Care Transformation and Improvement Ellie Haworth will present a keynote on building adult social care’s future. The session will address consistency, equity and confidence as wider social care, NHS and housing reforms progress. SCIE will also meet visitors at Exhibition Stand N43.
