Everybody has the right to be safe no matter who they are or what their circumstances

Safeguarding is about protecting children, young people and adults who are vulnerable from abuse or neglect. 

We are all responsible for the safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults.  We must ensure that we are doing all we can to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.  If you would like to learn more about how we work to safeguarding you, please follow the links below:
