As #SafeguardingAdultsWeek draws to a close, we’re reflecting on what Prevention really means. It’s about community, connection and compassion.
Let’s keep the conversations going and make every week safeguarding week. 💙

Today’s all about how we can build our courage and resilience as individuals to speak out. To do this, we will look at organisational and individual tools that help develop supportive cultures in which good safeguarding practices can thrive. #safeguarding #safeguardingweek

Prevention starts with small actions.
• Checking in on a neighbour.
• Noticing when someone seems withdrawn.
• Offering support early.
We can prevent abuse and neglect.
