Safeguarding is about protecting individuals from abuse, neglect, discrimination and harm. Every person has the right to feel safe, respected and supported in their daily lives. Care providers play a vital role in identifying concerns, responding appropriately and promoting wellbeing.

Families and service users should understand how safeguarding procedures work and know how to report concerns if they arise. Strong safeguarding practices help create safe environments where individuals can receive care with confidence, dignity and peace of mind.
