Safeguarding Adults

Safeguarding Adults refers to the measures and practices put in place to protect vulnerable individuals from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It involves identifying those at risk, often due to age, disability, or health issues, and ensuring their rights, dignity, and well-being are upheld. This is achieved through support systems, legal frameworks, and collaborative efforts among professionals, caregivers, and the community. The aim is to empower individuals to live safely and independently while promoting their involvement in decisions affecting their lives.
