Safeguarding Statement

At Lloyds Clinical, safeguarding is everyone’s business. We consider it an essential part of our organisational beliefs to protect individuals from harm, abuse, and neglect. It is our duty to create a safe environment where everyone feels secure and supported.

Why Safeguarding is Important

Safeguarding is crucial because every individual has the right to protection from harm. Effective safeguarding practices ensure that vulnerable adults and children are safe from those who might pose a risk. By understanding and implementing safeguarding practices, we can prevent potential risks and respond effectively to any concerns that arise.

Our Commitment to Safeguarding

To this end, we undertake safer recruitment practices that include disclosure and barring checks for England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. We provide mandatory training up to level 5 for adults and children, and ensure staff providing care to patients in Northern Ireland and Scotland complete training specific to the required regulations. Training courses are designed to develop the skills and confidence needed to identify and respond to signs of abuse and neglect.

Policies and Procedures

We have detailed policies and procedures to escalate concerns and work with multi-agencies to keep people safe. Our safeguarding policies are regularly updated to reflect the latest legislation, guidance, and best practices. We also offer a self-assessment audit tool to help our staff review and improve their safeguarding arrangements.

Multi-Agency Collaboration

Collaboration with multi-agency partners is a cornerstone of our safeguarding approach. We work closely with local authorities, healthcare providers, and other organisations to ensure a coordinated response to safeguarding concerns. This multi-agency working helps us provide comprehensive support and protection to those in need.

Creating a Safe Environment

At Lloyds Clinical, we are committed to creating a safe environment where everyone feels secure and supported. Our safeguarding practices are designed to protect individuals from harm and ensure their well-being. We believe that safeguarding is not just a responsibility but a fundamental part of our organisational culture.

Together, we can make a difference. By prioritising safeguarding, we reinforce our commitment to the health and safety of our community and uphold the highest standards of care.
