Statement of policy.
Safeguarding covers a broader spectrum than the Child Protection Policy but the principles, management of incidents, and reporting concerns should follow similar processes.
This policy refers to Adults but can be interchangeable with “Young Person”, “Young People”, or “Individual”. This policy is relevant to all Living Waters Supported Accommodation Ltd individuals, including our duty to safeguard staff. The Child Protection Policy must be referred to as, in most cases, covering our duty to our service users and areas of abuse, neglect, and guidelines for recognising safeguarding concerns, especially in Young People.
Living Waters Services Limited can be extended to 18 – 25-year-olds with OFSTED registration.
Living Waters Supported Accommodation Ltd believes Safeguarding is ‘everybody’s responsibility’ and is committed to ensuring children, Young People and vulnerable adults are protected from abuse and are provided opportunities to thrive. As a part of this ambition, we have undertaken a programme to establish our policy and procedures to embrace best practices and support our employees to deliver our responsibilities around this agenda. We will monitor our progress, make improvements and work closely with partners to ensure that Safeguarding is a cornerstone of our services
“We are committed to ensuring that those in receipt of our services are empowered through; an enabling, safe, promoting and supportive environment which gives a diversity of information and options from which they can make choices to influence decisions about every facet important in their lives and way of living”
