Safeguarding

Safeguarding

Safeguarding adults is about reducing or ideally preventing the risk of significant harm from abuse and exploitation and simultaneously supporting people to take control of their own lives by making informed choices. We all have a part to play in securing this for the adults in our care, particularly for those who are especially vulnerable.

As you may already be aware, Safeguarding Adults is everyone’s responsibility. Oak Healthcare pays utmost importance to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all its Service Users and Staff. Oak Healthcare will make every reasonable effort to ensure that this is maintained at a high standard.

Oak Healthcare has formed a 24-Hour Safeguarding Helpline and has two dedicated Safeguarding officers who are committed to ensuring that all Adults are Safeguarded from any form of abuse.

It is the responsibility of Staff and Service Users to report any abuse or suspected abuse and to ‘blow the whistle’ if they encounter any wrongdoings. Oak Healthcare are committed to ensure that we provide a professional and confidential approach to resolve any concerns.

If you require any further information in regards this, please do not hesitate to contact our 24/7 line on 01384 465546 (Extension 2).
