SAFEGUARDING

For children safeguarding, it is about:

• Protecting children from abuse and neglect.
• Preventing the impairment of children's health or development.
• Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care.
• Taking action to enable all children to have the best life chances.

For adults at risk, it is about:

• Enabling adults at risk to achieve the outcomes that matter to them in their life.
• Protecting their right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
• Empowering and supporting them to make choices, stay safe and raise any concerns. 

The fundamental approach to safeguarding:

Begins with the assumption that an individual is best placed to make decisions about their own well-being.

and then

Taking proportional action on their behalf only if:

• Someone lacks the capacity to make a decision.

• They are exposed to a life-threatening risk.

• Someone else may be at risk of harm.

• A criminal offence has been committed or is likely to be committed.
