Safeguarding
Safeguarding our customers
Safeguarding is protecting a person's rights to live in safety and free from abuse and neglect.
We consider safeguarding critical for people who, because of issues such as dementia, learning disability, mental ill-health or substance abuse, have care and support needs that may make them more vulnerable to abuse or neglect.
Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) are a statutory requirement for Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs). Safeguarding adult practice can be improved by identifying what is helping and what is hindering safeguarding work, in order to tackle barriers to good practice and protect adults from harm. SARs need to be of good quality and need to be able to be shared to maximise the value of their learning.
At Outlook Care we operate a zero tolerance approach to abuse, ensuring that our top priority is that the people who use our services are safe against such behaviour. Our safeguarding committee continually review our strategies and practices to improve the safety and wellbeing of people we support. We review the impact of our work in relation to safeguarding customers annually.

The Six Principles of Safeguarding
First introduced by the Department of Health in 2011, but now embedded in the Care Act, these six principles apply to all health and care settings.1. Empowerment
People being supported and encouraged to make their own decisions and informed consent
4. Protection
Support and representation for those in greatest need.
2. Prevention
It is better to take action before harm occurs.
5. Partnership
Local solutions through services working with their communities. Communities have a part to play in preventing, detecting and reporting neglect and abuse.
3. Proportionality
The least intrusive response appropriate to the risk presented.
6. Accountability
Accountability and transparency in safeguarding practice.
