Safeguarding means protecting people’s wellbeing, health, and human rights, allowing them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect. This is everyone’s basic right. It's a responsibility that we all share, and at Sanctuary Supported Living, we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all our customers and communities.
We work tirelessly to maintain a safe and secure environment for our customers and staff. Our robust safeguarding policies and procedures are designed to identify, prevent, and respond to potential harm or abuse. We provide ongoing training and support to our teams, empowering them to recognise and act upon any safeguarding concerns. We recognise that all our staff are responsible for supporting and safeguarding customers – regardless of their job role.
