Safeguarding

At Ridgmount Practice we place very great importance on the issue of Safeguarding.

This refers to protecting people’s health, wellbeing and human rights and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect.

In particular we place a strong focus on safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults.

Dr Claire Elliott is the Safeguarding Lead for the practice, she is Level 3 trained and should be contacted in the first instance with any Safeguarding Concerns. All staff in the practice receive Safeguarding training.

Below are some useful links and resources. If you have ANY concerns about the the safety of a child or vulnerable adult please speak to someone – you could be the one person to make a huge difference.
