Adult Safeguarding Policies

Adult safeguarding policies are guidelines designed to protect vulnerable adults from harm, abuse, or neglect. These policies outline how agencies and individuals should identify, prevent, and respond to concerns about an adult’s wellbeing, autonomy, and safety. They emphasize respecting each person’s dignity and rights, ensuring they receive appropriate support, and taking prompt action when issues arise. These policies promote a culture of vigilance, accountability, and compassionate care, aiming to empower adults to live safely and independently while safeguarding their rights and well-being.
