Referrals to Safeguarding Authorities

Referrals to safeguarding authorities involve reporting concerns about someone who may be at risk of harm or neglect. When a person, such as a child, vulnerable adult, or at-risk individual, is believed to be in danger or their well-being is compromised, professionals or concerned individuals notify designated safeguarding agencies. These authorities then investigate the situation and take appropriate actions to protect the individual, ensuring their safety and well-being. It’s a vital process to prevent harm and support those who may be vulnerable.
