Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk

Safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding our community so it is a safe place for all to live in.

A safeguarding culture has been embedded within the organisation with the aim to prevent abuse and neglect wherever possible, whilst promoting an approach that focuses on improving life for all concerned.

Our staff must report all incidents or concerns they have relating to the safety of an individual.

Anyone can refer a safeguarding concern. If you are worried that someone is at risk of abuse, neglect or harm please report it.
