Safeguarding Policies

Safeguarding duties apply to an adult who:
* Has needs for care and support (whether or not the local authority is meeting any of those needs) and;
* Is experiencing, or is at risk of, abuse or neglect; and;
* As a result of those care and support needs is unable to protect themselves from either the risk of, or the experience of, abuse or neglect.

Everyone working with children and young people has a responsibility for keeping them safe, irrespective of their role, whether they are paid members of staff or volunteers.
