Safeguarding means protecting people from harm. It’s about creating a safe environment in which people can live and work without fear of abuse, violence, or exploitation.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. If you see something that seems suspicious, say something.. Don’t ignore it or think someone else will deal with it.
If you’re worried about someone, don’t keep it to yourself – tell someone you trust. There are also lots of organisations that can help, like the police, social services or charities.
Safeguarding is important because everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy environment. We all have a right to be protected from harm.The six Ps of safeguarding are important components that help keep children and young people safe from harm. They are:
