Safeguarding adults means protecting adults at risk from abuse, neglect and exploitation while promoting their rights, wellbeing, safety and choice. UK care workers must follow local safeguarding procedures.
Adult abuse can include physical, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse, neglect, financial abuse, domestic abuse, organisational abuse, discriminatory abuse and self-neglect.
Report safeguarding concerns promptly through your organisation's procedures. Record facts accurately, preserve confidentiality and follow local UK safeguarding adults guidance.
An adult at risk may have care and support needs and may be unable to protect themselves from abuse or neglect. UK safeguarding procedures help identify and reduce risks.
A Safeguarding Adults Review examines serious cases where an adult has died or experienced significant harm, helping identify lessons and improve safeguarding practice and services.
