Safeguarding

Safeguarding means protecting a citizen’s health, wellbeing and human rights; enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. It is an integral part of providing high-quality health care. Safeguarding children, young people and adults is a collective responsibility.
If you have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of someone at risk, it’s important to do something about it. Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility
