Life After Safeguarding Policy
Last updated:
Life After is committed to safeguarding the welfare of all individuals who come into contact with our services. This policy outlines our approach to ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Our commitment
We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for families, volunteers, and staff. We recognise our responsibility to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
What is safeguarding
Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, wellbeing, and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect.
Emergency support
Life After is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. If you need urgent mental health support, contact Lifeline on 0808 808 8000 or Samaritans on 116 123.
Reporting concerns
If you have a safeguarding concern, please contact Life After as soon as possible. We will listen and take appropriate action in line with our procedures.
Review
This policy is reviewed regularly and updated as necessary to ensure it remains effective and compliant with current legislation and best practice.
