Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
We're supporting National Safeguarding Adults Awareness Week (17-21 November), which is all about protecting people from harm and abuse.
This year the theme is ‘Prevention: Act Before Abuse’ and covers how organisations and individuals can work together to take steps to reduce the risk of harm occurring in the first instance, whilst also ensuring correct policies and procedures are in place so that any safeguarding concerns raised are recognised and responded to effectively.
Each day of the week will focus on a different safeguarding theme:
- Monday – Change the Conversation
- Tuesday – Prevention in Practice
- Wednesday – Creating Empowering Environments
- Thursday – Trust Your Instincts
- Friday – Celebrate the Safer Cultures
Georgina Pennicott, Golding Homes Head of Neighbourhoods said:
“The week aims to raise awareness on the different types of abuse or neglect and how concerns can be reported. We all have a responsibility to look after each other, to recognise key signs and to know who we should report them to. Without doing this we might miss out on important information that could help protect adults from exploitation and abuse.”
Contact Golding Homes if you've got any concerns via email: safeguarding@goldinghomes.org.uk or phone 0300 777 2800
