Domestic Abuse Policy
15 Safeguarding adults and children
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and we all have a duty to prevent abuse or neglect in both children and adults, reporting any concerns.
As part of our investigations we will consider if a person has care and support needs, is experiencing or is at risk of experiencing abuse or neglect, and is unable to protect themselves from the risk.
If we feel that a child or adult requires safeguarding, we will raise a concern and take a multi-agency approach to address the concerns.
