What is Safeguarding?
- Protecting vulnerable adults and children from abuse and neglect.
- Making sure people are supported to get good access to the support they need to make the most of out of their lives and to get full equal rights.
Safeguarding Children and Adults is everyone’s responsibility and the mistreatment of any child or adult is not acceptable. Remember, doing nothing is not an option.
