Annotation	As Safeguarding Adults, the national framework of standards of good practice in adult protection begins to take root in the language and culture of organisations, the need for an evidence base for best practice becomes increasingly important. This article examines the practice data currently generated in three safeguarding adults partnership areas with specific regard to the Safeguarding Adults plan. The process, prior to the clarification of language by Safeguarding Adults may have been referred to as the 'case conference' or review. Using data gathered from three focus groups of safeguarding managers in three local unitary authorities, the themes that emerged across the groups were analysed (via use of grounded theory) to highlight the key issues and pressures for those operating within this role.
