CQC Quality Statements
Theme 3 – How the local authority ensures safety in the system: Safeguarding
We statement
We work with people to understand what being safe means to them as well as our partners on the best way to achieve this. We concentrate on improving people’s lives while protecting their right to live in safety, free from bullying harassment, abuse, discrimination, avoidable harm and neglect. We make sure we share concerns quickly and appropriately.
What people expect
I feel safe and supported to understand and manage any risks.
