Milton Keynes City Council is part of the MK Together Safeguarding Partnership. The Partnership brings together senior leaders from key agencies to agree ways to co-ordinate local safeguarding services.

As part of its work the MK Together Partnership develops and publishes Adult Safeguarding Policies, Procedures and Guidance, this includes:

• Safeguarding Adults – Interagency Policy & Procedure V4 (January 2021)
• Safeguarding Adults Decision Making Framework (January 2021)
• Safeguarding Escalation Process (June 2021)

• Adults at Risk - Interagency Risk Management Protocol (1st October 2021). This document replaces the VARM Policy (V1 2019); the change of name and terminology reflects recent updates to the Adult safeguarding policy and the introduction of the Decision Making Tool, it also now includes a discussion record to use for (any) interagency discussions:
  •  Interagency Risk Discussion Record
• Joint Children and Adults Safeguarding Competency Framework (2020)
