Introduction

Sefton ADHD & ASD Services is committed to Safeguarding Adults in line with national legislation and relevant national and local guidelines.  We will safeguard adults by ensuring that our activities are delivered in a way which keeps all adults safe. 

​

Sefton ADHD & ASD Services is committed to creating a culture of zero-tolerance of harm to adults which necessitates: the recognition of adults who may be at risk and the circumstances which may increase risk; knowing how adult abuse, exploitation or neglect manifests itself; and being willing to report safeguarding concerns. 

​

This extends to recognising and reporting harm experienced anywhere, including within our activities, within other organised community or voluntary activities, in the community, in the person’s own home and in any care setting. 

​

Sefton ADHD & ASD Services is committed to best safeguarding practice and to uphold the rights of all adults to live a life free from harm from abuse, exploitation and neglect.
