Safeguarding
Safeguarding is everyone's business.
Safeguarding is about protecting the rights of people to live free from abuse, harm or neglect by ensuring that their wellbeing is at the heart of our care. If you, or someone you know, is being abused or neglected or is at risk of harm, please tell someone. As part of delivering healthcare services, all our staff are trained in safeguarding awareness and are able to report concerns and act to safeguard you, while respecting your rights and choices.
