Safeguarding is the protection of a person’s health, wellbeing and human rights to enable a life free from harm, abuse and neglect.
Abuse can take place anywhere. The abuser might be someone known to the person or they could be a stranger.
If you, or the person you are concerned about, are in immediate danger please call the emergency services on 999.
