Safeguarding Adults

Safeguarding is fundamental to high-quality health and social care. It is all about:

• protecting people’s health
• ensuring well-being
• protecting human rights
• enabling everyone to live free from harm, abuse and neglect

We have specific duties to safeguard adults from exploitation, abuse or neglect.
Within all our services we adopt a zero tolerance to exploitation and adult abuse. We work hard to ensure that people who use our services live their lives:

• free from exploitation, violence or abuse
• fear of exploitation, violence or abuse
