Everyone has the right to live safely, free from abuse, neglect and exploitation. If you think you, someone in your home or community is being abused or neglected Cadwyn can help with this and ensure the person receives the appropriate support 

What is safeguarding?

  • Safeguarding means protecting children, young people and adults from neglect and abuse.  
  • This includes physical, emotional, financial, sexual and psychological abuse as well as discrimination, modern slavery and self neglect.  
  • Cadwyn work alongside partners including the Police, Social Services and Healthcare to try to keep everyone in our homes safe and support you to make your own choices.  

When should I raise safeguarding concerns?

There can be many signs of abuse and neglect. However, the signs can often be difficult to spot. There may be some warning signs including: 

  • Unexplained injuries 
  • Reduced attendance at school, college or work 
  • No gas or electricity in property 
  • Unexplained repairs in property 
  • Unauthorised person staying at property 
  • Unexplained financial expenditure
