Safeguarding – keeping people safe from harm
Young disabled people who may be at risk of harm and who are moving into adulthood must get:
- the right support
- at the right time
- from the right people
- for as long as they need it
Good safeguarding needs ways of working by all partner organisations that:
- link the gaps between child and adult systems
- are holistic – this means they look at everything the person needs
- are flexible – this means they can change when needed
What we will do next
- the National Public Protection Leadership Group will:
- look at what is missing when people move between services
- make recommendations to make ways to get safeguarding services better
- work with the National Child Protection Data Group and the Centre for Excellence for Children's Care and Protection to have better ways to identify a young disabled person in child protection data
- add to the work of the National Child Protection Disabled Children’s Network so there are better safeguarding policies and ways of working during transitions
