Safeguarding is a process of making sure children and adults who could be considered vulnerable or at risk are protected from being abused, neglected or exploited. People and organisations work together to tackle abuse and neglect.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we work closely with other agencies to promote people’s welfare and protect them from harm.
Everyone employed by us has a role to play in identifying concerns, sharing information and taking prompt action when issues are identified.
Housing providers have a duty to co-operate with local authorities implementing their statutory duties around safeguarding. This may include: conducting enquiries into incidents, sharing information, attending relevant meetings or engaging with local Safeguarding Boards.
