天涯社区 working together to safeguard our children and vulnerable residents
Published: 08/07/2020
鈥楽afeguarding is everybody鈥檚 business鈥� and we all need to be looking after each other at this difficult time more than ever.
Safeguarding is about protecting vulnerable children and adults from abuse and neglect and ensuring their wellbeing. Making sure people are supported to live full and happy lives is also an important part of safeguarding.
天涯社区 Champions of Corporate Safeguarding, Councillors Christine Jones and Billy Mullin, said:
鈥淚t is important that we all have greater awareness of the issues and protect children and adults at risk. Our key message is 鈥淪ee Something- Say Something. We all need to be able to recognise the signs and know how to report them.鈥�
If you see something that doesn鈥檛 look or seem right, it probably isn鈥檛 and YOU could make a huge difference to another person鈥檚 well-being.
We have had countless examples of 鈥済ood deeds鈥� during the current situation.聽 Not least one of our drivers who delivers food parcels to vulnerable residents.聽 He noticed the food parcel from the week before was still on the doorstep.聽 Upon checking, he found the elderly resident was not coping well and called to get help and support for him.聽 He also went immediately to the nearest pharmacy to collect his urgently needed medication.聽 If this driver had not acted on his instincts, the resident could still be in a dire situation.
