|Home » Safeguarding| Safeguarding Children, Young People and
Vulnerable Adults - Key Point Reminders Recognising abuse is not
an easy task. It is, however, essential that all adults act
where they have concerns in order to protect children or young
people or vulnerable adults who may be at risk. Failure to act
encourages an environment where a person behind abuse feels
confident to continue their activities. REMEMBER: The legal
definition of a child is anyone under the age of 18 DO: Respect
children and young people at all times, regardless of age,
gender, religion, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation.
DON'T: Interview or work closely with children, young people and
vulnerable adults on a one-to-one basis in a closed room and
never meet them outside your official role. DO: Report all
concerns around safeguarding to either your manager, your
employer, your Regional Training Advisor or you may also speak
in confidence to Tricia Thomson, please click on
