Policies, strategies and plans - Safeguarding policy for children and adults at risk

Summary

Our Safeguarding Policy for children and adults at risk sets out the procedures that will be followed if there are concerns or allegations of abuse or neglect towards a child or adult at risk. We have a duty to report safeguarding reports and concerns to the relevant investigative authority and in this case would be Kent County Council (KCC) Adult and Children Social Services or when immediate help is needed the Police.
