Part 7 of the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act 2014 set out a new legal framework to strengthen safeguarding arrangements so that people at risk can be protected more effectively. It ensures local safeguarding agencies are supported by more robust leadership and a stronger, more effective framework for multi\-agency co\-operation.


The National Independent Safeguarding Board is an advisory body which works alongside safeguarding adults boards and safeguarding children boards to secure improvements in safeguarding policy and practice throughout Wales.


Following an open public appointments exercise, and in accordance with the Governance Code on Public Appointments,  I am delighted to announce the appointment of the chair and members of the national board. They bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge from a variety of backgrounds, including previous experience on the national board. Collectively, they demonstrate the ability to be firm advocates of adult and child safeguarding.
