We take safeguarding very seriously. Safeguarding helps make sure adults, children and unborn babies are looked after and protected from harm.
We work hard to keep patients, visitors and staff safe. To do this we work with schools, social workers, police and other health services.
Our Safeguarding Children and Adults Team help our staff learn how to keep people safe. They also give advice when someone needs help.
