Healthshare is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults, children and young people and protecting them from risk of harm.

Healthshare has a statutory duty to ensure arrangements are in place in which to achieve this. This is reflected by:

• A clear line of accountability for safeguarding, reflected in our governance arrangement
• A dedicated lead for safeguarding adults and children
• A dedicated doctor who is responsible for safeguarding adults and children
• Clear systems to train all staff to recognise and report safeguarding issues
• Arrangements to share information between agencies and commissioners
• Monitoring through quality assurance processes

Who do I contact in an emergency?

If you need advice and guidance from a member of our safeguarding team if it is an emergency, or if the child, young person or adult is at immediate risk, then call the police on 999.
