Policy

We are concerned that abuse happens to vulnerable adults in Salford and this is wrong. The Salford Safeguarding Adults Executive Committee is committed to a policy of zero tolerance.

This policy is in place to ensure that all concerns that are raised are consistently and fully investigated by specially trained workers.

There is a commitment by Health and Social Care services to prevent and detect abuse and maintain an individual's safety.

Individuals who are at risk from abuse should be empowered to maintain control over their lives and keep themselves safe.

In treating all adults with respect and dignity over their life choices much abuse can be prevented.

Good practice in employment and management means the health and social care workforce is able to deliver a safe and consistently high level of service.

When we are all clear about how individuals should be treated then it is easier to identify, investigate and implement safeguards when the behaviour of others falls below expected standards.
