What is safeguarding?

• Safeguarding is protecting vulnerable adults or children from abuse or neglect.
• It means making sure people are supported to get good access to health care and stay well.
• It is wrong if vulnerable people are not treated by professionals with the same respect as other patients. It is making sure that people are supported to have full and happy lives.
• It is making sure that people get safe and empowering care.
• Safeguarding should make sure that people get the support they need to make the most of their lives and get their full equal rights.
