safeguarding practices

Safeguarding practices are policies and procedures designed to protect the health, well-being, and human rights of individuals, especially those who may be vulnerable like children or at-risk adults. These practices involve creating safe environments, recognizing signs of abuse or neglect, and ensuring that everyone involved understands their responsibilities. They also include reporting concerns appropriately and maintaining confidentiality. The goal is to prevent harm, promote safe interactions, and provide support when needed, ensuring individuals are respected, protected, and able to thrive in a secure setting.
