Our dental team accepts and recognises our responsibilities to develop awareness of the issues which may specifically relate adults at risk and the actions that should be taken if signs of abuse are spotted.
We will endeavour to safeguard adults at risk by:
- adopting adult at risk protection guidelines through procedures and a code of conduct for the dental team
- making staff and patients aware that we take the protection of adults at risk seriously and respond to concerns about their welfare
- sharing information about concerns with agencies who need to know
- following carefully the procedures for staff recruitment and selection
- providing effective management for staff by ensuring access to supervision, support and training
We are also committed to reviewing our policy and good practice at regular intervals.
