Safeguarding
Safeguarding is a term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to denote measures to protect the health, well-being and human rights of individuals, which allow people — especially children, young people and vulnerable adults — to live free from abuse, harm and neglect.
There’s more information about safeguarding on the North Yorkshire County Council website.
NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG acknowledges it is the responsibility of all staff to take appropriate action when they know or suspect an adult or child may be at risk of abuse or neglect.
