SAB Members
The East Sussex SAB is a multi-agency partnership made up of senior representatives from a range of organisations, which provides leadership and strategic oversight of adult safeguarding work across East Sussex.
Our core membership, as specified in the Care Act 2014, includes our statutory partners from East Sussex County Council, East Sussex NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and Sussex Police.
Additional key community and voluntary agencies and lay members are represented on the Board to reflect that safeguarding activity and interventions can only be effective where there is collaboration and shared commitment.

Links with other partnerships
The East Sussex SAB works closely with our colleagues in the Brighton and Hove SAB and West Sussex SAB, and many of our policies and procedures apply across the three Sussex areas.
Our SAB also has links with a number of other strategic partnerships in East Sussex, including:
- Safer Communities Partnership
- East Sussex Safeguarding Children Partnership
- Children and Young People’s Trust.
The Partnership Protocol 2021 - 22 sets out the commitment to collaborative working across these strategic partnership boards. These partnerships are committed to ensuring that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and to working together at every level to keep people in East Sussex safe from harm and abuse and improve their health and wellbeing.
