We, like all public sector organisations, have a legal duty to protect children and adults at risk from harm. All our staff are trained to recognise the signs of abuse and know how to report any concerns they may have.
Safeguarding unborn babies, children, young people and adults who may be at risk is ‘everyone’s business’ and is a high priority for us.
The abuse of children and adults can have a devastating and lifelong effect on all its victims, including family members and carers.
We are committed to preventing and identifying any abuse of children, young people and adults and work closely with our local authority colleagues who have lead agency responsibility for safeguarding in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Board of Directors’ Safeguarding Declaration
Trust Safeguarding Vision
“We are committed to a future where opportunities for abuse are minimised, identified abuse is stopped and prevented from recurring. As an integral part of the community the Trust and its staff will hear the voice of those at risk of abuse. We will work with partner agencies to uphold people’s rights and our response will be effective, kind and compassionate. Where people have experienced abuse that has caused emotional and psychological harm, we will work to enable recovery and a future free from abuse.”
