Safeguarding for children and young people
What do we do
We want everyone to feel safe, healthy and happy.
Safeguarding means protecting people from harm, abuse or neglect. It’s about making sure everyone’s rights are respected and they can live safely.
We have clear rules to help protect adults, children and young people. These rules help us spot problems early and take action to keep people safe.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and all of our staff receive safeguarding training. We work closely with other agencies and make referrals to them to make sure people who receive support from us are free from abuse and neglect.
emh care & support has an appointed Safeguarding Lead and Deputy Safeguarding Lead.
