Safeguarding
Report a concern about a child or adult
Essex County Council run social services in this area, and so they will handle any safeguarding concerns.
Our policy
We have adopted a Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy, as we are committed to protecting vulnerable people.
Our policy is relevant to:
- our employees
- our elected members
- any consultants, contractors and agency staff working for us
- members of the public volunteering with us
-
organisations, companies and individuals who are suppliers to us
If you are not included in our policy, you can find more information on safeguarding via:
We provide our employees with training, supervision and support, so that they are:
- able to identify potential indicators of abuse
- less likely to become involved in actions that may cause harm to vulnerable individuals
- less likely to do anything that could be misinterpreted
When suppliers, contractors and consultants work with us, they need to agree to follow our safeguarding standards.
