The Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board
The Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) has the statutory responsibility for bringing together organisations in Oxfordshire to decide how we can work together at a strategic level to best safeguard adults at risk of abuse and neglect in our community.
They also have a responsibility for conducting reviews when an adult with needs for care and support in Oxfordshire dies or is seriously injured as a result of abuse or neglect and there are concerns about how organisations worked together to protect the person.
