Safeguarding
Safeguarding ensures that vulnerable people are protected and are able to live as independently as possible and every child and adult has a right to be safe from harm. Everyone has the right to live without abuse or neglect and be treated fairly with dignity and respect. Safeguarding adults is about preventing and responding to allegations of abuse or neglect of adults with care and support needs.
​
Safeguarding Children promotes the welfare of children as:
-
Protecting children from maltreatment
-
Preventing impairment of children's health or development
-
Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
