Team Domenica Safeguarding Policy Easy Read
What is safeguarding?
Safeguarding means working together to make sure you are safe from abuse and can be independent and make choices.
What is abuse?
Abuse is when someone hurts you or treats you badly. Abuse is always wrong.
There are different types of abuse
Physical
Sexual
Emotional
Financial
Neglect
Discrimination
Abuse can happen anywhere: at home, in work, in the community, college or online
If these things happen to you, you should tell someone that you trust. You could tell:
- Someone in your family
- A mentor, teacher or manager at Team Domenica
- Your job coach
- The police.
- Your report will be taken seriously
- It will be written in MyConcern
- Deb will read the report
- If you agree, or if staff need to act in your best interests they will contact social services or the police on your behalf
- Professionals will try to find out more about what has happened
- They will work together to try to protect you so that it doesn’t happen again
- The police may need to become if the abuse is a crime
