Safeguarding means protecting peoples’ health, wellbeing and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. It is a key part of providing high-quality health and social care.
Those most in need of protection include:
ADHD Health Clinic aims to ensure every adult who uses our services is free from abuse or neglect. Everyone at ADHD Health Clinic works to help protect them and promote their welfare.
Some adult patients may be at increased risk of harm, both in the community and whilst using our services because their health condition, or disability, makes them more dependent on others. They may need extra support to safeguard them from the risk of abuse or neglect.
At ADHD Health Clinic we recognise that safeguarding adults at risk is everybody’s business.
We provide all staff at ADHD Health Clinic with mandatory training about safeguarding adults that is relevant to their role. They are responsible for alerting our Safeguarding Lead to any concerns about, or suspected abuse of, an adult at risk.
