Annotation	This report summarises the main conclusions from the pilot reviews and key learning points to assist the improvement of safeguarding policy and practice. Local Government Improvement and Development carried out a pilot programme of peer reviews of adult safeguarding arrangements in four English local authorities in 2009-2010. The pilot programme sought to customise, test and adapt this established peer review methodology to adult safeguarding. Key messages from these peer reviews include: outcomes and experience of people who use services; leadership, strategy and commissioning; service delivery, effective practice and performance and resource management; and working together. Councils may need to revisit how they develop their safeguarding arrangements in the light of major policy, financial and demographic shifts over the next few years. (RH).
