Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility
We're supporting National Safeguarding Adults Awareness Week (21-27 Nov), which is all about protecting people from harm and abuse.
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.
Each day of the week will focus on a different safeguarding theme:
-
Monday – Exploitation and County Lines
-
Tuesday – Self-Neglect
-
Wednesday – Creating Safer Organisational Cultures
-
Thursday – Elder Abuse
-
Friday – Domestic Abuse in Tech-Society
-
Saturday and Sunday – Safeguarding in Everyday Life
