The Care Act 2014 defines adult safeguarding as protecting an adult’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. Safeguarding is about people and organisations working together to prevent and stop both the risks and the actual experience of abuse or neglect. Safeguarding balances the right to be safe with the right to make informed choices, while at the same time making sure that the adult’s wellbeing is promoted. This includes taking the person’s views, wishes, feelings and beliefs into consideration in deciding on any action. Health and social care organisations have particular responsibilities, but every worker has a part to play.

Child protection and safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: it is not only childcare workers that have a duty to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm. When you come into contact with children in any way in your day to day work it is part of your job to make sure that their wellbeing is safeguarded. Please note that in this course the term ‘child/children’ includes any child or young person up to the age of 18.
