National guidance for Adult Protection Committees: Undertaking Learning Reviews

An Adult Support and Protection Learning Review is a means for public bodies and office holders with responsibilities relating to the protection of adults at risk of harm to learn lessons from considering the circumstances where an adult at risk has died, or has been significantly harmed. This guidance is for Adult Protection Committees to use when considering, or undertaking, Learning Reviews. The purpose of this guidance is to support a consistent approach to conducting Adult Protection Learning Reviews and improve the dissemination and application of learning, both locally and nationally.
