Safeguarding Adults Policy and Procedures
Safeguarding adults is about people and organisations working closely together to prevent and stop abuse and neglect from happening.
The Safeguarding Adults Multi-Agency Policy and Procedures for West and North Yorkshire and York provide the framework for safeguarding adults with care and support needs from abuse and neglect.
Safeguarding is everybody's responsibility and to ensure this, all agencies - council, police, fire and ambulance services, heath organisations, housing providers, independent sector, charitable, voluntary and community groups should refer to these agreed policy and procedures.
