Safeguarding & Vulnerable Patients

Show safeguarding is proactive and well-led

Why honesty matters

In our experience, practices that proactively identify their own gaps and demonstrate a clear remediation plan are viewed much more favourably during inspections. Regulators focus on your commitment to improvement, not current perfection.

Do you have named safeguarding leads for children and adults who are currently in post, Level 4 trained, and have protected time allocated?

Include deputies for both children and adults. Confirm appointment letters or role descriptions are current and reflect time allocation.
