Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups involves protecting individuals, especially those who may be at risk of harm or abuse, such as children or vulnerable adults. It includes processes and checks—like background screenings—to ensure that people working with these groups are suitable and trustworthy. The goal is to create safe environments where vulnerable individuals can thrive without fear of harm, abuse, or neglect. Safeguarding is a shared responsibility among organizations, workers, and families to promote well-being and ensure safe, respectful interactions at all times.
