The term safeguarding is used in the UK to describe any action taken to promote the welfare and ensure the safety of adults and children who may be at risk of abuse, neglect or exploitation.
Safeguarding children, young people and adults is a collective responsibility, we all have duty to keep vulnerable people safe from harm.
The Blandford Group Practice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults. We believe that all Children, young adults and vulnerable people have an equal right to protection from abuse, regardless of age, race, religion, gender or sexual identity.
The Practice has designated Children and Adult Safeguarding Leads.
