Safeguarding children, young people & adults at risk

Our Safeguarding teams work across the Trust providing a ‘whole of life’ service, ensuring all staff and volunteers receive appropriate support, advice, guidance, and training for all matters relating to:

• Safeguarding across the whole life cycle
• Child protection and multiagency planning
• Early Help
• Domestic abuse and sexual violence
• Mental Capacity Act
• Deprivation of liberty safeguards (DoLS)
• Homelessness 
• SEND
• Learning disability and autism

Safeguarding means protecting people's health, wellbeing, and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect. It's fundamental to high-quality health and social care.

Safeguarding is the responsibility of every member of staff and every volunteer who works for Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust.
