Safeguarding Adults Week (organised by Ann Craft Trust) is a time for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. The aim is to highlight safeguarding key issues, facilitate conversations and to raise awareness of safeguarding best practice. So we can all be better together.
We hope the week will enable more organisations and individuals to feel confident in recognising signs of abuse and neglect and recording and reporting safeguarding concerns.
The theme for Safeguarding Adults Week 2021 is ‘Creating Safer Cultures’.
Each day, there will focus on a specific topic to facilitate conversations around the theme of creating safer cultures.
Promoting safer cultures is all about how organisations and individuals can take steps to minimise harm occurring in the first instance, whilst simultaneously ensuring correct policies and procedures are in place so that safeguarding concerns that are raised, are recognised and responded to effectively.
