Safeguarding Policy Review

Settle has a duty of care to protect residents from abuse, harm or neglect.

All Settle colleagues, including contractors and Board members, have a responsibility to adults at risk of abuse and for the safety and welfare of children living in our homes who may be at risk. Any concern or suspicion of abuse, neglect or risk should be reported as soon as the concern is identified in every case.

The rights of adults at risk of abuse do not fall away because they are at risk. At risk includes those who are unable to take care of, or protect themselves, and whose independence and wellbeing is at risk without support because they are vulnerable e.g. due to age, physical or mental health, having been in care, prison or other institution.

This policy sets out Settle’s responsibilities to safeguarding adults and children to ensure all colleagues and residents are clear on our moral and legal obligations.

To make sure the policy promotes safety, empathy, transparency, and consistency, we'd love to hear from you!

Your feedback will help shape how we continue to support residents, which is why we're inviting you to take our simple survey that should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
