Safeguarding Principles. The work of the SSAB is underpinned by the 6 Key Principles of Adult Safeguarding identified in the Care Act (2014):
Safeguarding Principles. The Church is committed to: • the care and nurture of all children, young people and adults • the safeguarding and protection of children and adults at risk • the establishment of a safe, caring and inclusive environment for all. The Church must have proper policies, guidelines and procedures in place: • to protect children and adults at risk • to ensure the Church meets its duty of care • to protect the reputation of the Church • to comply with insurance requirements and protect finances • to comply with Charity Commission requirements. The Church will not knowingly support and/or donate to any organisation which does not have a robust safeguarding policy.
Safeguarding Principles. 2.1 The following general principles guide the council in safeguarding children and vulnerable adults: everyone has the right to live free from abuse and neglect. everyone has the right to be treated as an individual. everyone has the right to be treated with respect and dignity, with a right to privacy. everyone should have choice and control over their lives, with as much independence as is possible, and will help people maintain confidence and positive self-esteem. we will not tolerate abuse to anyone, not least a child or vulnerable adult. we will help service users safeguard themselves from abuse and neglect. we will keep the interests of service users at the centre of any safeguarding activity. where we can, we will keep the wishes of our service users at the centre of any safeguarding activity. we will make sure our service users are aware of this policy. everyone at the council has a responsibility to prevent, recognise and act on abuse and neglect. we will promote an organisational culture of openness, so that staff, members and others (including service users), volunteers, etc. can raise their concerns, and know that they will be listened to, without worrying that something bad will happen as a result.
