Understanding Safeguarding: How We Keep People Safe in Our Care
Safeguarding means protecting people from harm, abuse, neglect, and unsafe practices. In homecare, safeguarding is essential because individuals may rely on others for support and may be more vulnerable to risks.
At Lifepaths Care Ltd, safeguarding is built into every part of our service. Our staff are trained to recognize concerns, respond quickly, and follow clear procedures to ensure safety at all times.
Our safeguarding approach includes:
Rigorous background checks (DBS)
Training in safeguarding for adults and children
Clear reporting procedures
Confidential handling of information
Partnership with local authorities and health professionals
Promoting dignity, respect, and independence
Everyone we support has the right to feel safe. Safeguarding helps ensure that rights are protected every day.
