The main principles of safeguarding are empowerment, prevention, protection, proportionality, partnerships and accountability.
Safeguarding adults is about responding and preventing the abuse or neglect of adults with care and support needs. Adult abuse can take many forms:
Physical Abuse
Sexual Abuse
Financial Abuse
Discriminatory Abuse
Emotional/Psychological Abuse
Neglect (and acts of omission)
Self-neglect
Organisational/institutional Abuse
Domestic Abuse
Modern Slavery
Hate and mate crime
Female Genital Mutilation
Safeguarding leads at Jersey Mencap are Alex Wiles and Ali Hand.
Contact the office for more information or to raise any safeguarding concerns you have.
