Are you looking for information for family, friends, or carers?

Please visit our dedicated family, friends, and carers webpage if you are concerned about the safety or wellbeing of an adult with care and support needs, or if you would just like to know more about adult safeguarding and the work of the Safeguarding Adults Board.

Complex Needs Toolkit

This toolkit provides staff with necessary guidance and information around working with adults with complex needs, including signposting to useful resources and policies. There are also various accompanying templates, which can be used and adapted by all agencies.

Please note, the toolkit should be used in conjunction with the Sussex Safeguarding Adults Policies & Procedures, which, although safeguarding specific, have useful information on working with complex needs.

Please note: If your agency already has similar resources in place, please use them in accordance with the expectations of your agency. Our templates are available to use and adapt by those agencies who perhaps do not have any existing similar documents to support practice with complex needs.
