Safeguarding Policy 

​

Claire Sankey is committed to creating a safe environment for all clients, including children and vulnerable adults. This safeguarding policy outlines my commitment to safeguarding and the steps I take to ensure the safety and well-being of my clients.

​

Safeguarding Principles: I believe that everyone has the right to be safe and protected from harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. I am committed to promoting the welfare of all our clients, including children and vulnerable adults, and will take all reasonable steps to prevent harm or abuse.

​

Responsibilities: At all times working with clients, including children and vulnerable adults, I am responsible for safeguarding their welfare. This includes identifying and reporting any concerns or suspicions of abuse or harm, and taking appropriate action to protect the individual from harm.

​

Training and Awareness: I am trained in safeguarding, including how to identify and respond to concerns or suspicions of harm or abuse. 

​

Reporting Concerns: If I have concerns or suspicions about the welfare of a client, including children and vulnerable adults, I will take appropriate action with the local authorities and safeguarding process.

 

Confidentiality: I understand the importance of confidentiality in safeguarding, and I will respect the privacy of my clients. However, I may need to share information with relevant authorities if there are concerns about the welfare of a client, including children and vulnerable adults. I will always inform the client where possible and appropriate.

​

Complaints Procedure: We have a complaints procedure in place, which allows clients or their representatives to raise concerns about the welfare of the client. We will take all complaints seriously and respond promptly and appropriately.
