What is safeguarding?
- Safeguarding means protecting children, young people and adults from neglect and abuse.
- This includes physical, emotional, financial, sexual and psychological abuse as well as discrimination, modern slavery and self neglect.
- Cadwyn work alongside partners including the Police, Social Services and Healthcare to try to keep everyone in our homes safe and support you to make your own choices.
