We are contacting you following a recent communication received from our Safeguarding Adults Central Duty Team regarding Kent Adult Safeguarding Alert Forms. They have informed us that they receive a large amount of KASAF forms that are out-of-date and, at times, hand written. Due to this, they take an extended amount of time to process and pose greater difficultly when doing so. Below you will find a link to the Kent County Council website page where you can download the latest version of the KASAF form (an example is also attached). Could we ask that, in future, you make use of this KASAF form, continuing to ensure you are using the most recent form each time by downloading it from the below link, and that you fill it in electronically when possible.

As Peter Webb (London Care & Support Forum) rightly says, this is a ‘go to’ document for good use both before and after the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement. Thank goodness it is only about 14 pages so relatively easy to digest and keep to hand for those awkward meetings with your CCGs and LAs.
