The health sector can make a positive contribution towards safeguarding those that might be less able to protect themselves from harm, neglect or abuse. Central to effective safeguarding management are trustful and supportive relationships, based upon dignity and respect, between patients, their families and healthcare staff. Healthcare organisations therefore have a responsibility to be active and responsive in ensuring people’s dignity and rights and meeting statutory duties to safeguard adults. This requires a systematic approach, effective leadership at all levels and an organisational culture where care and compassion are valued. This training is for all Clinical General Practice staff who have regular contact with patients, their families or carers, or the public. This training if for Haringey and Islington staff only.
