All of our homes follow the ‘’Wales Safeguarding Procedures’’ and ‘Working Together to Safeguard the Young Person.

The Wales Safeguarding Procedures seek to:

• Ensure that practitioners understand their role and responsibilities and know which organisation, team or practitioner has lead responsibility for safeguarding as well as the precise roles of everyone involved.
• Provide guidance to practitioners in contact with adults at risk of abuse and neglect enabling them to identify and address the adult’s care, support and protection needs.
• Ensure practice is in accordance with the legislative requirements and expectations of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 and the accompanying safeguarding guidance); (Section 7 Volumes 5 and 6 on handling individual cases).
• Recognise the importance of engaging with the adult at risk, their family and carers throughout the safeguarding process provided this does not place the adult at further risk of harm.
• Promote positive outcomes by improving the daily lived experience of the adult at risk of abuse or neglect.
• Secure effective partnership working to meet the care, support and protection needs of the adult at risk of abuse or neglect.
• Facilitate assessments, plans and interventions that are person-centred and completed within the timescales set out in regulations and guidance.
• Enable managers and supervisors to guide and support staff to ensure adults at risk are protected from abuse and neglect.
• Draw on research and best practice to inform decision-making.
• Offer a framework enabling Regional Safeguarding Boards and agency managers to ensure practice is in accordance with statutory roles and responsibilities and legislative requirements and expectations.
• Enable Regional Safeguarding Boards and agency managers to evaluate the quality of local safeguarding practice and provide a vehicle to facilitate local co-ordination and challenge.
