Sunderland Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) will again be participating in National Safeguarding Adults Week, known locally as Safeguarding Learning Week,<\/em> and in 2026 this takes place 16th – 22nd November. Locally it is used to highlight Sunderland\u2019s Safeguarding Adults Awareness Campaign, coordinated by SSAB. The Board has membership from a range of organisations who help and support people in Sunderland with health, social care and other issues. These organisations want to help people to have a greater awareness of what being safe means. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
