Teeswide Safeguarding Adults Board are looking for people to sign up as Safeguarding Champions
Teeswide Safeguarding Adults Board are looking for people to sign up as Safeguarding Champions
The TSAB Safeguarding Champions initiative builds on the skills and knowledge of professionals who work with or have contact with adults who have care and support needs. Safeguarding Champions can use their unique position to communicate important safeguarding messages across their organisations and local communities, especially to those who are isolated, marginalised in society or those who can’t easily access technology or the internet (digitally excluded). Safeguarding Champions can signpost individuals to access health, wellbeing and social care services, and help to share accurate information about adult safeguarding within their local communities.
What is a Safeguarding Champion?
A person who works within the Tees area who;
- Understands what adult safeguarding is
- Understands the different types of abuse and neglect and knows how to spot the signs of abuse and neglect
- Knows how to report any Safeguarding Concerns and offers safeguarding advice to colleagues, service users/customers, families and carers
- Raises awareness with others on recognising and reporting adult abuse or neglect
- Helps connect local people to a range of health and wellbeing services including signposting to safeguarding teams where appropriate
- Shares TSAB e-bulletins, newsletters and social media posts amongst their networks and acts upon any relevant information which applies to them or their organisation
- Reads and shares learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs), Learning Lessons Reviews (LLRs) and considers the learning from their organisation’s perspective to prevent similar instances occurring
- Shares and learns from good practice as well as learning from ‘near misses’ or single agency instances/concerns linked to abuse or neglect
- Ensures that their organisation has robust adult safeguarding policies, procedures and guidance in place and is aware of TSAB’s Inter-Agency Safeguarding Adults Policy, Procedure and Decision Support Guidance
- Listens to the people they support and provides relevant feedback to TSAB that can help inform future safeguarding priorities and practice.
A Safeguarding Champion will also apply the principles of Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) within their daily practice.
