- Ensure that whenever abuse or neglect is suspected or reported, there is an effective, consistent, and coordinated response across Berkshire
- Ensure that partner agencies have preventative measures in place to lessen the likelihood of abuse occurring
- Increase the awareness of safeguarding issues amongst the general public, carers, service users, voluntary and paid workers
- Provide a framework for the further inter-agency development of safeguarding policy including learning lessons from practice in Berkshire
