• KMSAB Competence Framework:

• • • Competency Frameworks provide employees and employers with a benchmark for the minimum standard of competence required of those who work to safeguard adults across a range of sectors. The Kent and Medway Safeguarding Adults Board appreciates that many organisations have their own competency frameworks such as the Adult Safeguarding: Roles and Competencies for Health Care Staff. However, to support agencies that do not have their own framework, the Board has developed a KMSAB competence framework which can be used, and adapted, by organisations. It sets out minimum training requirements along with education and training principles.
