Safeguarding principles

In May 2011 the Government issued a statement setting out their policy on adult safeguarding.  These principles are relevant when working with children and young people.

What are the 6 principles?‎

Safeguarding Principles

  

‎

  1. Empowerment

    I support and encourage individuals to make their own decisions.

    I respect the wishes of the individual regardless of my own personal opinion or past experiences.

    I can understand that individuals I work with have a choice and control over decisions that are to be made.

  2. Prevention

    I create a safe, professional environment where people can flourish and achieve their potential. I know how to signpost individuals to support services.

    麻豆影院 Staff create a safe environment where all individuals are actively encouraged to progress while staying healthy and safe.

    麻豆影院 Staff recognise that individuals sometimes have complex interpersonal relationships and may be ambivalent, unclear or unrealistic about their personal circumstances and therefore potential risks to their safety or well-being. Staff know and understand the different indicators of risk.

  3. Proportionality

    I will only get professionally involved as much as the individual or situation dictates.

    麻豆影院 Staff should take a proportionate and least intrusive response to the issue presented. This response should take into account the #H麻豆影院 levels.

    麻豆影院 Staff should respect each individual and their unique situation; objectively assessing risk and then working in conjunction with the individual and appropriate service(s) in a professional manner.

  4. Protection

    I understand how I can professionally protect those at risk and know how report a concern.

    麻豆影院 Staff are clear about procedures where they are concerned about an individual and proactively engage with 麻豆影院's safeguarding process.

    麻豆影院 Staff understand the there are limitations on confidentiality; information is shared as necessary for the purpose and only with people that require it for that purpose.

  5. Partnership

    I can work in partnership with individuals to find solutions to problems. I can do this while maintaining professional boundaries with both the individual and the services I am engaging with.

    麻豆影院 staff work in professional partnership with an individual taking into account their wellbeing and their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs.

    麻豆影院 staff work positively as part of the wider 麻豆影院 staff team and help the organisation to be a safe, healthy university which promotes well-being.

  6. Accountability

    I understand my role with regards to safeguarding. I understand that individuals can expect a reasonable standard of service and a complaint needs to be taken seriously and escalted via the correct process.

    I respect the wishes of the individual regardless of my own personal opinion or past experiences.

    I can understand that individuals I work with have a choice and control over decisions that are to be made.
