Safeguarding is a term that has been come into our vocabulary
in recent years but is used to describe how we protect children, young people
and vulnerable adults. It is a responsibility we all share and is a priority
for many public services and local authorities. It is also a responsibility for
any organisation or individual that comes into contact with any of these groups
on a regular basis.
Safeguarding ensures that we protect children and young
people from any maltreatment be that physical, mental or sexual and so ensures
the best outcome as they progress through life. Vulnerable adults to have the
right to live safely from abuse or neglect.
